    How Very True

    Yup, I've got a double whammy there, chemo brain and aging.  It just depends on which one I'm blaming at the moment of each situation LOL.

    G'day Phil

      G'day Phil. Since cancer I seem to have lost the concept of ageing. I just seemed to stay at 48 I just couldn't do everything I ued to do. Then last december I suddely realised I am 70 next birthday. I let that sink in for a couple of days then I told the boss I was finnishing up on the 19th of December. I really feel good about it. Right up to the last day I was as good as i had ever been at my job. There is a lot to be said for getting out while you are still at the top of your game. I never liked charades. Cheers Ron.
