No kidding! I wish I was as sharp as I thought I used to be.

Ditto!!! We tried to get Andrew to join in, but health issues got in
the way. Besides, he probably never did like me very much anyway. I'm
certainly not everyone's cup-o-tea. Or espresso.
As to next year for the warmer weather? I'm tempted, very tempted. I
don't think my daughter will be here next year, but it would be nice
if I were on tour next year and got booked for a gig or two here.
Interesting thing, we briefly talked about it, but the challenge has
continued and I'm EXTREMELY frustrated about it. I have had zero sense
of direction since landing in Sydney. My built-in compass is
completely broken. Even when the maps and compasses say I'm going a
particular direction, my brain just isn't comprehending it and it goes
"I got nuttin." Everything can be pointing due north and my brain says
"uh, really?" It's either the fact that I'm in the southern hemisphere
where the sun goes backwards, or that slight direction-finding bit of
iron in my brain is pointing the wrong way. Whatever it is, it's not
getting any better and absolutely nothing I've tried has succeeded.
I've been compass confused two other times in my life, once in
Ireland, and the other in Columbus, Ohio. But those were just a matter
of a few hours. This has been over a week. Here in downtown Melbourne,
I'm totally lost. Strange, strange, strange.
Maybe the earth really is flat and I'm about to fall off the edge.
