[Magdalen] Getting Old?

[Jim Guthrie]

I have a luncheon today with some old friends (railfans) that I;ve known for 
more than 50 years. We're meeting at a brewpub in Woodbridge NJ. Then I have 
treatment at MSK tomorrow, along with a CT Scan to check on the progress. In 
anticipation of that I made a reservation at a hotel (in Harrison NJ) for 
tonight.

But I simply had no idea what day it was yesterday, so we packed up and took the 
7:20 AM bus from Scranton for NY. Well into the Poconos, I realized (reading the 
NY Times) that it was Wednesday -- I even thought for a few minutes that I had 
the previous day's paper. But I soon realized we had left a day early -- so it 
was a last-minute scramble to get a room for last night -- got the last room at 
the same hotel where we were scheduled tonight.

The penalty? The room tonight was $126 -- but getting the last room was $189 
yesterday, and that's an AARP rate.

In any case, we spent the "extra" day at the Museum of Natural History --  
including programs at the Rose Planetarium (formerly Hayden). Albert really 
enjoyed himself so it turned out okay.

But I'm still wondering how I couldn’t figure out what day its was, even though 
Tuesday was grocery delivery day *senior citizen discount day). So how did I 
lose Wednesday?


Cheers,
Jim
