  This AM, left my garage for a 3 tuning job at a church setting.,
  approximately 40 minutes away.  Tried to remember to have cash, tools,
  address notes, cell phone, lunch.  Pulled away from garage sure I've=20
  forgotten something. Stopped the car, opened the trunk to make sure
  tool kit was there.  Knew I had to stop for gas, so made certain  cash =
 was
  available.  Drove about 5 minutes, looked on the seat for my cell =
phone,=20
  and realized I didn't have my glasses. They would be on the seat with =
my
  phone, . . but not today. Checked pockets, etc.  U turn , and back to =
the house.=20
  There on the kitchen table they were.  My wife thinks my memory isn't =
what it=20
  used to be, but I think that I seem to need to remember so many more =
things now.=20
  No way would I take lunch, didn't need glasses, there weren't any cell =
phones,
  so all I had to remember was to make sure  I had my tool kit.   Is it =
any wonder ????=20

  Has anyone ever left for a job, and forgot to shave ???

    To this day, I still have a nervous twitch...=20
    When driving to my first appointment of the day, my right arm =
