Driving with my old partner .... Cisco and Pancho playing in the fourth quarter, together .... Hey, Cisco!.... Hey, Pancho! made it most of way .... Somewhat embarassing to admit that it ain't easy to drive, anymore .... Made it to see the lady who has suffered being my Mother-in-Law for 46 years .... She has about a 20-30 second memory .... Lives among those with similar memories. Looking in a time-travel mirror. Already word retreaval (and spelling) is difficult .... and communication has begun to have a built in lag-time as I need an extra two or three seconds to process incoming. People do think I'm deaf .... 'no' .... I'm just busy processing, folk! Oh! and TV commercials have become impossible as their speed precludes any processing time at all.
Stopped to dine with my niece .... dine? She has 2, 6, and 10 year olds .... and a husband. And the beat goes on. Went on to see Marsha's baby Sister .... She's old, too. Beginning to feel it's a conspiracy .... this aging thing.
But pushing on in search of our Grandspawn .... gonna surprise them in school.
Oh, my God! Marsha just read that Jim Hillman died. He and Bly more or less put together the Men's Movement that I was never involved with. Reviewed one of his books with him .... conversation style .... the book (The Force of Charachter) was on aging, of all things. And now the Jolly Reaper has Grimmed him, too. Go with Grace, Jim Hillman!
On the road, again.
