I know sometimes, um, well, um; I go a little soft in the brain and my "check brain" light pops on. That's when I get the oxygen flowing and walk my brain off. Then the youthful brain, I've depended upon for so many years comes back to life. It's like the check engine light on your car, once it comes on, you better get to the shop for a once over.
