Driving through fog, especially the freezing kind we encountered in Alberta in January, is wearying but also dangerous. A race car driver here in the US is experiencing brain fog as a result of a serious concussion from a wreck and is not yet cleared to race. People...

I have good news and I have bad news (I think). The good news is – that name?, that book title?, the author of that book?, that word ‘on the tip of your tongue’? – none are forgotten! They’re all in there, somewhere! The bad news is that our ‘filing...
