• Do you ever find yourself standing in a room and you can’t remember why you went in there? And you think to yourself, “Maybe if I go back to where I was I’ll see something that reminds me. Or maybe it would be quicker if I just stand here and hope it comes back to me.” Usually as you’re weighing those options, two words float across you mind: “Alzheimer’s disease”
• Have you ever noticed how sometimes all day Wednesday you keep thinking it’s Thursday? Then the next day when you’re back to normal, you wonder, why don’t you think it’s Friday?
• Do you ever fall asleep in the lat afternoon and wake up after dark, and for a moment you can’t figure out what day it is? You actually find yourself thinking: “Could this be yesterday?”
• Have you noticed that when your head is on the pillow, if you close one eye the pillow is in one position? But when you switch eyes the pillow seems to move? Sometimes I lie awake for hours doing that.
• Did you ever tell someone they have a little bit of dirt on their face? They never rub the right spot, do they? They always assume the mirror image and rub the wrong side. Don’t you want to just slap the bastard?
• Have you ever been sitting on a railroad train in the station, and another train is parked right next to you? And one of them begins moving, but you can’t tell which one? And then it becomes obvious, and all the magic is gone? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could spend our whole lives not knowing which train is moving? Actually, we do.
