Captain, it's called aging. We all go through it. Yes, it freaks you out, but it is something we all go through. Even though I know this is part of our aging process, and cognitive failures from the aging process, it is still tough to deal with. It is terrifying standing in front of a room of several hundred people and blanking on a word that you knew just a few seconds ago. The more you press, the harder it is to recall the term. You stand there, feeling embarrassed, but it is what it is. That is why I always carry some crib notes of the important issues I am going to discuss. Don't worry Captain, it happens to us all. We're just getting too old for this ####!
