George sure knows how to make conversations interesting.

Good morning.
George and I live close enough to the International speedway that we can hear what's going on, but far enough anything beyond car noise is just white noise. When Rockville shows up, George and I joke we want to be far away from here because it's nothing but white noise when we're outside. For the last couple of days, I've been hearing cars off and on. George mentioned they were preparing for the Twenty-four hours at Daytona, and then I made a comment aabout the Daytona 500 and circle conversations begun.
Sometimes George's brain repeats the last thing he hears and ads other words. It can be cute and funny at times.

Nice that you live where you do then. George sounds like he is fun to be around.

@celticeagle Sometimes he'll try to self-correct, fail, and get into an endless loop.

He has always been a fun and (he thinks) funny guy. He likes to joke, tease and all the things, but now we have afasia on board. So when he tries for normal conversation, things tend to get.... lost in translation. He will point at the lamp, and go 'tube ' Or he'll repeat the last thing he hears.

@just4him I agree, it is. He'll nod or shake his head at me sometimes, but only when I'm standing next to him. Sometimes I'll have to remind him to use his words.

January 22nd the event starts right enough.
I imagine it would be quite noisy.
Will you go and see the event at all?

Hell to the no. That's a hard pass. The sound is bad enough.
