Saw the Doctor the other day, and...
#1 I think this is the post of the year, on topic or off.
#2 I had a really great reply to this post, but I forgot it half way through
reading it.
#3 I think a national program should be instituted to find a cure for this
malady. The productivity would increase ten fold in the aging population.
#4 I now remember the great come back to this post, no wait, that was an
idea for a paper in law school. Perhaps I'll write that topic someday.
#5 I have to get ready to go fishing, as it seems to take me all day
Saturday for a Sunday float.
#6 There are worse ways to spend a Saturday.

I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit
Disorder.
This is how it manifests:
I decided to wash my car. As I start toward the garage, I notice that
there
is mail on the hall table. I decide to go through the mail before I wash
the
car. I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash
can
under the table, and notice that the trash can is full. So, I decide to
put
the bills back on the table and take out the trash first..
But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out
the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my checkbook
off
the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are
in
my desk in the study, so I go to my desk where and I find the can of Coke
that I had been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I
need
to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see
that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the
refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the coke a vase of flowers on the
counter
catches my eye--they need to be watered. I set the Coke down on the
counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for
all
morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going
to
water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a
container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on
the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, we will
be
looking for the remote, but nobody will remember that it's on the kitchen
table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first
I'll water the flowers. I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it
spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some
towels and wipe up the spill. Then I head down the hall trying to remember
what I was planning to do. At the end of the day: the car isn't washed,
the
bills aren't paid, there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the
flowers aren't watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook, I
can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what
I
did with the car keys. Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done
today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm
really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get
some
help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail. Do me a favor, will you?
Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember to
whom
it has been sent.
