RE: EUREKA, I found it ! ! ! !
Whew!!! I'm feelin' much better now -- I think. Somewhat similar to AJC, while outside, I reached into my pants pocket for my pocket knife -- GONE! After 30 minutes of looking outside and in, I found it in my other pocket. I guess being so anal retentive, I couldn't cope with the idea that I had stuck it in the left pocket.
As they say on one of the TV commercials, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. But are you to blame when it just slips away from you?
