“In March,” he said, “I went to see a doctor because I kept forgetting things at work. Little stuff. Names. Measurements. One day I drove to a job site I’d been going to every day for two months, and when I got to the corner of Fifth and Main, I didn’t know which way to turn. I just sat there at the green light while people honked at me. I didn’t know where I was, Lee. For about a minute, I didn’t know where I was.”
