      A visit with a friend. A friend for 50 years. Now we are both old and have a lot to talk about, kids, health, worries, losing our roles in life, and what does this all mean. She brings an apple fritter. It has been years since I ate one. The fritter is as good as I remembered. We both love to watch the trump trials.

     Someone is hammering on the empty house across the narrow street. This is year two of construction work. The owners visit daily. My old house is still standing.

     What is brain fog.  I use this word to describe a diminished cognitive awareness.  It could be age or chemo therapy. It comes and goes. It is different from forgetting names or words.  The infusion nurse says it is a real thing.

     Last night I go back to my comfort shows, THE RESIDENT, and UGLY BETTY. Maybe today I will try something new. And of course, the Trump trials on MSNBC and the two major war reports on PBS.
