Anytime and I know what it means to get up out of my chair and walk to 
the garage to get/do something and when I get there I've not a clue why 
I'm there... usually it comes back to me at some point. My Dad suffered 
from dementia the last few years he was here and hated not being in full 
control but never gave up and took care of himself right up to the end 
using little tricks like sticky notes all over the place.

I've never gotten a round-tuit to try and keep the pdf up to date with 
the man pages :) and I actually prefer the html documents now but used 
to prefer the pdf. Did you know you can build a local copy of the html 
with ./configure --enable-documentation=html
