When I read this, my first thought was, "Ohmygawd that's me!" I have "memory issues" all the time! And, like the author, I have this thing with my memory taking a vacation right when I need it the most - like when I have to remember my password for my bank card while a bajillion people are standing in line behind me, impatiently waiting (and muttering - I'm sure I've heard death threats once or twice, but I can't remember) to use the machine. It's embarrassing, to say the least... and frightening, to say the most. I'm not even in my mid-forties yet, and my memory is failing me. I hope I don't forget my own name at some point. Now that would be REALLY embarrassing...
Anyway, this is a great article, and I really enjoyed reading it. I hope to see some more humorous looks at aging in the near future.
