I know that Tower very well my good friend....I once mostly carried my "late wife" up there...It was one of the last things she wanted to see/do before the clock struck 13 for her...There were some wonderful hikers that helped me when I stumbled...

A lot of beautiful memories of her are running through my mind right now son....You're a good friend Coach and the rest of this board are aces too; the best people.

Beautiful picture, did you know that is the 200 mile marker on the Appalachian Trail. I’ve got the first 400 miles done. Was going to do another 100 last October, but the trail is closed. Hope they get it open soon.

Congratulations Lady Vol 777.....Walking 400 miles is incredible...How many days did it take to do that? Was it all at one hike, or at different times?

Speaking of NASA

back in the day when I was a beer drankin Tn wage earner, I spent a few months working at the JPL labratory(sp?) in Pasadena Ca. when the Mars lander was all the rage. Got to see a duplicate model and where they tried to make it work. It was small......

That's because they couldn't afford a bigger movie set.

Rooster, great video of our dream girl, Barbara Eden....She is so perfectly named; like the Garden of Eden...Beauty walks a razor's edge, it can cut so deep into your soul.... Everything about her is just so damn likeable....Imagine meeting her in a coffee shop on a snowy day, and just listening to her tell you about her life....I just had a head rush....LOL

When I was just a little guy, perhaps 5, my mom and dad were taking me to Disneyland...Now, this is before the interstate system had been put in, so we were going up the coast highway...We stopped in some little town on the coast hwy for some lunch....

After lunch we walked by this theater, that was playing Forbidden Planet...It had this great movie poster to draw the customers in... My dad asked me if I wanted to see this movie and put off going to Disneyland until next weekend....I was not too sure what Disneyland was anyways, so I said yes to the movie....It just looked so great....

My mom and dad were just so cool, we stayed and watched it a second time....Had lots of popcorn and coke that day....My mom had the hots for Leslie Nielson, and my dad liked Anne Francis...Me, I was just crazy about Robby the Robot.

Okay I have something weird going on..
For some reason, I cannot seem to remember a certain actor's name for longer than a couple minutes. As soon as I see him in a commercial or show I just can't place his name. It's Matthew McConaughey(sp?) that keeps throwing me for a loop.

So far, that is the only person or thing that is effecting me like that.


Any thoughts on why this is happening? it's something that I've noticed for a few months now.

Do you continuously struggle with his name or all names?

The article below explains the difference between age related and Alzheimer's/dementia difficulties:

alzheimer.ca

The differences between normal aging and dementia

If you are experiencing difficulties with memory, know that they may not be signs of dementia. It could be memory loss as a part of normal aging.
alzheimer.ca alzheimer.ca

What it doesn't explain is what I call "non-selective memory loss"...e.g..having good recall, slow as it were, but good,,,except for certain continual things.
To explain,,,I can fly through writing the alphabet, but have to slow down for the letter "e" consistently...I struggle to immediately come up with the word "endurance" when talking about long-lasting energy level,,,I consistently place the letter adn instead of and when typing,,,yet with the other words/letters I can pickNpeck with ease
