Epiphany lost

It seems so distant now... and it was only two days ago. What was clear in my head is now scattered among the forest of dendrites. I could summon it and force it together into something coherent but honestl I don't want to. It had significance then and it still does but it's not the same now. This seems to relate to my Alzheimers. I have the worst short-term memory you can imagine. You can ask me to do something, and the second I think of something else the request is gone, flitting somewhere until I'm reminded of it, always too late.

Forgot where I was going with that... see???? Half kidding there. Remember that means half serious too. People miss that sometimes.

Received two CDs as gifts today - Joshua Bell's Romance of the Violin, which I'm now glad I didn't buy, and "Hymns of the 49th parallel" which is apparently the border of Canada and the US. Both are nice. I was doubtful about the latter at first but it's pretty good. Quite out of character for me.

We have just started on "Brilliant Lies" in English. Modern Australian play about sexual harassment. 3 female characters, 4 male. Our class has 3 females including teacher and teacher doesn't read characters. Todays casting was simply weird - I got the lesbian sister and David, Monsieur Antichrist himself, got the Christian brother. It's certainly an interesting end to what's been an interesting course. A toast to IB... then will IB... drunk

Yet another post ends with me saying nothing of consequence. This has taken me about 2 hours to write.

I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known,
Don't know where it goes, and it's only me and I walk alone...

By being glad you didn't buy the CD, methinks you meant that you wouldn't have a redundant copy rather than it wasn't up to expectations... sorry, ever the linguist with all those darn semantic tree figures, even when I've semi-spurned that industry by leaving it (and by maintaining as overrun a sentence as this one).
