I used to be a voracious reader, now I can't stick with anything longer than an essay or newspaper article. I've got books piled up all over the house that I haven't read yet. STM loss? Got my name written all over that one. Cognitive decline? Let me count the ways......
Hell, I could probably hide my own Easter eggs now, my memory is so bad!
