If not dope, it must be too much "Labatts" and cold air. ;-) Fortunatly I always had a good memory...and still do. I'm 52 and look about 35. Yet, I'm no 'tea totaler" myself. I DO obsess about a "balnced low fat diet and exercise" though. Try looking into your diet, that can do wonders for a person's mwntal and physical health. I got on this kick about 20 years ago. Since then I feel I'm healther than when I was twenty.
