You know all that stuff you know without thinking?

Try not doing anything with it for two months.

I came back and couldn’t remember how my cell phone works.

It took me several tries to get my computer on-line.

I can’t remember how to turn on my bedside lamp, which is connected to a dawn-and-sunset light regulator.

I’m sure some of it is due to jet lag and to having been awake for over 24 hours (my brain refuses to try to figure out exactly how long). But to pick up the PDA which was my brain for years and realize I had no idea how to turn it on was — a striking experience.

    Oh Roberta, now you know how the rest of us feel ALL the time!
    And the great Ochi…….. has he begun to forgive you?

    Ochi, as magnanimous in soul as beautiful in appearance, has indeed forgiven me. He lies even as we speak at my feet as I sit at my computer. He slept at my feet last night (last night had about three segments, and he joined me for the last). There was a moment as he lay purring in Lizz’ lap when he stared at me as if to say, “Aren’t you someone I know?”, and since then, things have been peaceful and harmonious.
