“Dear Heavenly Father, please protect me from slipping into senility or Alzheimers.”

My brain is so full of information that I don’t want to forget. Here’s a strange one: RA56206562. That’s the Army ID for my former husband—sixty-five years ago.

My favorite topic: Genealogy. I remember surnames—and correspondence—from thirty-plus years ago. It is so helpful when I’m “climbing the family tree” on Ancestry.com.

Current affairs: Shawn White—at the Olympics—failed in his bid for another metal. Here’s an interesting story about Shaun’s family. I consulted the Internet because my brain mistakenly identified his family with an ice cream business in New Hampshire. I was reminiscing about my visit in New Hampshire in 2010.  Oops, “wrong snowboarder.” A Google search produced a story about Scotty Lago—and his father had an ice cream business. OK, OK, my memory was confused about snowboarders.

Life–in–the–slow–lane–Lorraine is grateful for her many blessings and prays she doesn’t “lose her mind.”

Postscript @ 8:00 AM; afterthought: I wasn’t watching the Olympics–I heard about Shaun’s loss on the news.
