There are two words to describe boomers who suddenly realize that they are more forgetful than they used to be: slow learners. As this piece in the L.A.

Wait, something about the L.A. Times. Oh yes, this helpful piece in the L.A Times attempts to distinguish normal memory loss from the kind of memory loss one should  worry about, such as forgetting things that one has recently learned.
Boomers who have lost a parent to Alzheimer’s may appreciate this piece, about hanging on to a fading parent through music.
