So this is not uninteresting:

Yesterday, I flew out to California for a family wedding, and I had a fascinating experience on the plane. I was sitting in the middle seat and a very nice lady, about 80 years of age or so, sat herself down for the 5+ hour flight. She was a tiny bit intrusive but actually was really delightful, telling funny and entertaining stories of her life which was rather fascinating, asked us questions which were wholly appropriate and responding with perfectly formed follow-ups. Her son, sitting across from her on the aisle was traveling with her and minding his own business.

Around 7P.M. EDT she began asking me questions which were identical to those “asked and answered” already, and my eyebrow raised a mite. A few minutes later she began repeating herself and telling the same stories and asking the same questions over and over and by the time we disembarked in Phoenix where she was going and we were changing planes, she was literally repeating herself nonstop almost as though she had a superimposed pressure of speech on top of her sundowning. Tragic for her and her family and to a lesser extent for me, who stayed perfectly polite throughout this frustrating experience.

Anyone who would have met her would have assumed that she was in perfect cognitive shape. Short visits would not give a clue of the underlying problems, and I could only assume that if she were President, she too would have to leave the G7.

So there.
