There is a semiserious joke among docs that any individual who, in putting their keys in a safe place, dumps them in the freezer warrants a dementia evaluation.

On that scale, forgetting my phone and headset in the SFVA Infusion Center is hardly cause for concern. To tell you the truth, I thought I had dumped them in my backpack. Since my Clipper Card was in my back pocket, i didn’t notice their absence until after I was on the 38R and two stops down Geary.

Deep sigh.

Disembark.

Hike back to the VA.

Back up the stairs, retrieve items from the amused nursing staff. Back down the hill, catch the next 38R. Since I had gotten extra exercise, I decided to get off a stop or so early once we hit downtown and headed to Frena’s Bakery.

I deserved goodies right?

Armed with desert for the evening, I caught BART at Powell and headed home.
