Really looking forward to getting back, only hope my

Most of my neurons have mutated into morons,
my synapses have not snapped in ages. My brain has
shrunk so much that I am afraid to shake my head,
for fear of hearing a rattling noise.

Search the web for CodeQuick. It's a Morse code course that teaches you
to copy code in the language part of your brain instead of the "beep" part.
This has two advantages, one it is independent of speed, so you don't have to
learn 5,13,20,35,etc, you just learn it once and work up your speed.

The second is that since it works in your language center, it works in
a part of your brain that is still in use and still active.

The disadvantage is it uses "sound alike" phrases to help you learn code
and you need to put enough effort into the practice that you stop using them
automaticly.

I like to say that I have a photographic memory, but I ran out of film
about 10 years ago.
