Talk about a SENIOR moment!
Several days ago as I left a meeting at our church, I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down. I was looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets. A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing. Suddenly I realized, I must have left them in the car. Frantically I headed for the parking lot. My wife, Diane, has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them. Her theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the doors of the church, I came to a terrifying conclusion. Her theory was right. The parking lot was empty. I immediately call the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.
Then I made the most difficult call of all, “Honey,” I stammered. I always call her “honey” in times like these. “I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”
There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard Diane’s voice, “Ken,” she barked, “I dropped you off!”
Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.”
Diane retorted, “I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car!”

This was my senior moment. I went to Wal-Mart the other day to pick up a few things. I entered through the food section, but I came out a different door. I looked all over the parking lot for my truck. It was just where I had parked, on the other side of the parking lot. James

sad but true! ;D I like your theory kap I do the same hopefully my bucket of bolts won’t end up missing I run a courier route for my daily bread the other day I hear a noise turning the corner Hhhmmmm… what was that?! Fifteen minutes later--- I notice the mail not in the car! Darn!! that’s what noise was ! The mail fell off the roof of my car! So I drive back to look for it This is major hassle & big screw up! No Mail! Two hours later I drive back again. I’m looking in bushes, trash cans ect… A lady was looking at me I ask: “Did you see a tray of mail?” “Yes I did” goes in her office and comes back with this tray of mail! All there! Well that saved my day big time! So the next day I went back and presented this kind soul with this rock’n heart! Now here’s the silver lining in this senior moment This lady works for the Arizona Heart Institute. I got talking to the the receptionists who run this show. They’d like me to make a display heart for them I’m working on it as I’m typing edMostly

Whilst in Hawai'i I went to the Aramoana Mall in the WHITE rental car. Now, in Hawai'i 99.9% of cars are white. Came out a different door. Could not find the even after a long search, so, I called the rental company who sent out a driver to find my car. He picked me up a the mall entrance I told him I was at, so, he drive straight to my rental. The rentals have GPS locators in them...must be us old ones having senior moments. BTW that also means NOT going on the roads the rental places tell you not to go on. Woody
