    Senior APs?

    Do any age 65+ counters out there experience a diminution of mental acumen at the tables? Or need to decrease session lengths?

    My stamina decreased when I hit my 70s. So, I got a fake ID that says I'm 39; and I feel great again.

    So far so good with me, but I have no history of dementia in my family. If your parents are in a dementia unit, don't know what planet they are on, and are often shitting themselves as they stare blankly at the walls, your intellectual cognizance level may drop at some point as you age. Training on counting on a daily basis is likely to keep everything relatively fresh for as long as is possible though, even if a memory from 35 years ago, such as Jill with the big tits' last name who was on the Dunes Lounge softball team, has somehow faded from memory.

    Which brings up another advantage (one of many advantages in fact) of the multiparameter counts such as the Tarzan count. I would certainly support a campaign such as the Tarzan count against dementia. Tarzan looks pretty sharp to me as long as he doesn't perceive a perfect silhouette like 36-24-36 as 12-0-12.
