Gettin' Old Ain't For Sissies!

"Gettin' old ain't for sissies." I heard that was a quote from Bette Davis. It's the truth too. Let me elaborate....

Today I was thinking about one of the auditor's I used to work with at Electrolux some twenty years ago. I can pretty well remember most of the people from those days and I can see him as clearly as if he was in front of me. He was a wonderful friend and co-worker but for the life of me, I could only remember his last name. Most of the morning I tried to think of his first name and just couldn't come up with it.

I was in the kitchen later on the in morning doing some dishes, and Sammy (my big furry feline) was sitting in between the sinks watching me do the dishes (he always loves to watch and isn't afraid of water or soap splashing) and all of a sudden I yelled, "WALT!" and Sammy spooked and fled the kitchen. I finally remembered his first name! It was truly an "ah ha" moment!

Not remembering something bothers me. I take consolation in the fact that it was twenty years ago and it could happen to someone even younger then I, but it annoys me anyway.

But....as my blog states...I'm just musing.....
