In a couple of days, Pam and I will be traveling to Chicago for a visit.
I'm thankful to everyone who has made themselves available, and I'm looking
forward to seeing all of you.
I wish I could convey to you the difficulty of what was previously as
simple as breathing. Imagine dealing in complex concepts like humor, irony,
tension, and the gamut of emotions that humans can experience. Now try it when
you are unable to complete a full sentence.
What are you talking about, you say? That sounds like a complete sentence to me. And yes, thank goodness, I am able to complete a sentence in this manner, dictating to Dragon. But it's not how we talk, is it?
Fortunately, I am able to converse in normal dialogue. Well close, but give me a nudge from time to time, and I will be off and rolling again. I wish I could explain how this works, but unfortunately I find myself at a loss. Try talking about people and things when you can’t remember their names, if you're looking for a quick laugh. Fortunately, Pam is close enough to me that she can often fill in the names through a mix of hints and guesswork.
In any event, don't let me scare you. It's pretty astonishing how you can
forget someone or something you've known for over 60 years, and then they can
come back to you in a snap. I'm looking forward to a lot of conversations with a
lot of people I love in the next week. Can't wait to see you all!
Love,
Steve
