Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4835229, member: 181"] I'm ~95% tapping on a phone, with peripheral neuropathy-affected fingers and varying degrees of competence, patience, and tolerance for errors...and still I give a about Oxford commas to complement my ability to laugh about myself in the face of so much imperfection. The cascading micro-indignities of aging require & have resulted in a greater sense of perspective - levity. As long as I can laugh at myself, it's mostly okay. As [USER=10]@HooperScooper[/USER] surmised, I'm retired. That helps. A lot. Other than the, "Yeah, me neither," part, there are quite valid, "Louisville and Kentucky are two different places" arguments to be made. Plus... If I didn't commit to honoring parental preferences to keep child images off social media, I'd be posting here last Friday's triumph of compounded multiple sensori-motor skills that resulted in a toddler sporting a Dan Hurley-like backwards UCONN baseball cap and round-lens, tortoise shell-patterned eyeglass frames. In a steady, fluid sequence, she climbed up my leg & into my lap; grabbed my hat and positioned it perfectly on her first try (having only ever seen me wearing it brim-forward; smoothly removed my glasses and with comparable confidence placed them right-side-up directly on the bridge of a button nose also on the first try; and then quickly climbed back down to the floor in order to scoot into the kitchen to proudly show Nana & Mommy the look she had ideated, pursued, and created. Mere days and weeks prior, the climbing, and snatching & donning of another's clothing were separate behaviors that required fine-tuning via trial & error reps that led to success. The consolidated learning that is unfolding before my eyes on (currently) a daily basis is a marvel like no other. [/QUOTE]
