At age 68, have been experiencing "information delay" for approximately 15 years. If one views the brain as the original microprocessor, the chip definitely processes more slowly than in the past. The good news is the data always [ultimately] locks in. Thank you for your many hours of service each week; at a time when others are enjoying downtime, you are working for the listeners on Saturday morning.
