Uhhh...ok...damnit.

So I had a great piece about getting older, but I forgot most of what I wanted to write. At the time it was well planned out and the words were flowing, but I was not near my computer, so it was not recorded as it came. So now that I have the time and I am near the computer, I can't remember a single thing. I guess that is the perils of getting older.

The body started to feel it a couple of years ago, getting up all achy, having to get up earlier just to go to the bathroom, slower reaction times. Although other parts are showing no age, the lack of grey hair and no sign of losing any hair (I wish it would fall out, it would be so much easier-then I would not care if it turned grey, which by the way is not a care). There is a little starting to peak out in the facial hair, but we just call that blond.

It is the short term memory that has me, and it is selective. I can remember insignificant details from yesterday like what I had to eat, what I wore, even how many times I went to the bathroom (which is more and more due to my age), but I can not remember something I wanted to blog about. Why?

Why keep the mundane, but not the stuff that may be needed or that I wanted? Even as I sit here and mindlessly babble about trying to remember what it was I wanted to write, I am getting no spark of what it was. May be I need to start using those websites like Luminosity (take my money please), but I try and do some daily thinking games like a crossword and/or sudoku. I avoid watching Fox News, Honey Boo Boo, and Duck Dynasty (a number of quick ways to lower your IQ. Every once and awhile I will watch a couple episodes of 'Fast-n-Loud').

I also read, and not that mindless fluff stuff. I like to go through technical manuals, books on history, economics, and science. May be it is the sports? I do like to have the game on, or spend time scrolling through the various sports scores and highlights on-line. I also spend quality time with my kids (mostly the younger one right now) and that keeps me young (and tired), so I think I am doing it right. So why can't I remember what I wanted to blog about, why has it escaped me?

It kinda feels like the Bermuda Triangle, some things just get lost in there never to be seen or heard again...
