"Story Conservation"

I told a friend of mine, who’s around my age, a story. I felt a little uncertain, because I didn’t remember if I’d already told him that story. It turned out to be okay, because my friend didn’t remember if he’d heard it.

Apparently, at a certain age, with a certain audience, you just need one story.

And you can tell it again and again.

Never give up. I was recently in a 10K Race for Alzheimers.

We're still looking for 12 people.
