Time flies when you're having fun and a few unhappy times doesn't seem to have much of a slowing effect. I've certainly experienced a lot of both in my lifetime yet as quick as a cat can wink an eye here I am fast approaching 66 years of age. On one hand I wouldn't object to a slowdown but experience noting that unhappy slows not, my plans are still to remain as happy as I can and just hang on and enjoy the ride. I am mighty thankful for the ride so far and can't help but feel strongly blessed to be able to keep on keeping on.

Don't know where all that came from because I don't feel old and the thoughts of being 66 has no negative influence at all. It's just that it seems so many would rather read and will pay more attention to a misfortune than a huge happy slash of words. Look at the news on television and in the newspapers, if it isn't a terrible or at least a pretty bad happening it isn't there.

There isn't much here either so the quit thought just slipped up and slapped me! Damn, I should have had a V8!

Q: Is it common for 60+ year olds to have problems with short term memory storage?

A: Storing memory is not a problem, retrieving it is a problem.
