Using the Laptop

I am sitting in room 1401 of the International Hotel in Calgary Alberta trying to compose on Audrey's laptop computer. It has no mouse. It is on a table and I am sitting in an ergometrically incorrect position which is causing me a pain in tghe neck. I left in the last misspelling because I have givenb up trying to correct on this keyboard because when I do it goes bonkers on me and I get frustrated. The "DUH" factor kicks in as I try to learn a new skill, i.e. typing on the keyboard which is elevated on a table and trying to move the cursor with a pad instead of a mouse.

I begin to feel old...and old dogs don't do well on new tricks... or so they say. Now I am not a dog...and what I am trying to do is not a trick...does that mean that I can do well or is the adage applicable to adult humans as well as dogs. Am I in fact too old to learn new tricks if in fact I wish to learn a trick. Why would I want to learn tricks??? What tricks would I want to learn??? Card tricks, coin tricks or computer tricks.
