ASPECTS OF AGING
One of the most disturbing aspects of aging is the growing inability to recall vitally important information — such as the gross national product of Liberia, the Greek alphabet, and where you put your slippers. This affliction becomes particularly pronounced when you go upstairs to get something. Half-way up, you realize that you have no inkling of what you were going upstairs to fetch. Then — you have to decide whether to go back downstairs and try to remember what you needed, or continue on up and look for something that needs bringing down. Unable to decide, you resort to sitting on the landing and sulking, only to discover that you have completely forgotten whether you were originally upstairs — going down, or downstairs — going up!
