sing it, sistah. ms word may just be the devil in form of software. shout "vade retro !" at your computer, and let me know what happens.

notes... i usually just scribble mine. of course, sometimes i have to retype them, to send by mail. *sigh* i can't dictate them to anyone either. i tried dictating to the cat, but even she can't read her own handwriting, so that was pointless. plus she uses some weird feline shorthand, i don't know where she picked it up, it's completely incomprehensible.
Try a scanner, that way you can keep you neat handwriting...

Mine was August last year, at the 'tender' age of 53 (yikes)...So you've had more practice than I...

Problem is you won't have enough time, then, to do all those things you dreamed of doing...
