I think Uncle Ted's memory is fine. Uncle Ted is very adept at
recounting the horrors of Vietnam, why his
wife finally gave up and just died, his
post-70 sex life, his
medical issues, and the
Taft-Hartley Act. "I can forget what I was doing while I'm still doing it! Like, just now, I forgot I was walking to the bathroom, sat down here and then peed myself."
