Fred, count your (and your mother's) blessings in only having to deal with storms of illogic. My grandmother endures storms of logic: my grandfather is 86 years old, crotchety, opinionated...with a firmly logical Harry Truman-type mind. He also happens to be an old Greek man. Remember the old chestnut "you can prove anything with logic"? My poor grandmother is reduced to angry non-sequiters just to keep her head above water.

As she commented once, this is not how she pictured retirement.

Too true. She (and you) have my sympathies.
