Gee Ed, and you look so young!

I have discovered that early in the going (years ago) I made boneheaded errors all the time. I usually thought it was the software.

I now know that 99 percent of the time when something is not working, it's my fault. This is happening a bit more as my grey matter turns amber, and as my doc said, I have chemo fog, it takes a year or so. Ha.

So the other day I couldn't get midi ch 5 to work, I tweaked, rebooted, unplugged stuff, reset stuff to factory defaults went for a beer, and then after 2 hours, whack yourself in the head John, you turned off midi 5 because you changed that to mute and nothing was going out. The solution was a keystroke, and right in front of me the whole time.

I am now allowed, due the cheques the government sends me monthly, to claim it was a senior's moment. I just hope the number of seniors' moments is not characterized by some sort of exponential formulae. I must hope that the morning scavanger hunt to find 2 hearing aids, dentures, car keys, reading glasses, UV glasses, cell phone,, cane, and wallet keep my mind sharp enough to get to the store and fiddle with my change while those behind me curse and then laugh at the fact I didn't zip up. Just don't push me, that cane is...
