Aging #347 By Hank Silverberg Commentary I'm 70 years old. Every now and then I have trouble coming up with the right word, or I forget the name of something. It's called a "senior moment," and everyone will have a few eventually. Most of us get nervous that it might be the beginning of something else, like dementia, but most of the time it's not. I joke often with young people that "I have forgotten more than you know." Yesterday I forgot the name of the company we use to protect our property from termites every summer. But I am not the president of the United States or a United States senator. When one of them freezes up or forgets something basic, it can become an embarrassment or an international incident. You may remember Senator Mitch McConnell...
