Losin’ It (My Mind, That Is)

My column for tomorrow, for the newspaper, is about how one of the reasons I know I am getting older is because I have, in the recent past, gone to pay for fast-food items and groceries (not at the same time or place, even though that is possible, now, thanks to Super Wal-Mart) without actually having any cash on me ... and then had to run home or to my ATM so that I could actually pay for those items.

Tonight, however, I have discovered proof that I am, indeed, losing my cotton-pickin’ mind: In the distance from the CD rack in the hallway to my spinny chair in the living room (11 steps — I just paced it off!), I have managed to misplace my Lennon Legend CD. Which I was bringing out here because I am putting together a Christmas compilation for Sheila and I wanted to include “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” song that I really like.

But no. Somewhere between there (CD rack) and here (spinny chair), the CD has vanished. Into thin air. I have retraced my 11 steps (and then some), and it is nowhere to be found.

Bah, humbug!

On the other hand:

I have a new phone to play with, and I am totally psyched about it!

The fact that I am this excited is further proof that I am, indeed, a geek. Not a total geek, though; total geekdom will be not be accomplished until I have managed to figure out everything about this little gadget.

And I will say this: My blog looks pretty nifty on the Treo 650 screen!

More later on the compilation. IF I can somehow locate the John Lennon CD.
