I think I'm getting dumber

Is it possible to lose intelligence? I don't feel dumber, but I'm having increasing moments of extreme embarrassment over something deeply stupid I have said or done. For example, last night, after dinner with friends, we played cards. For the record, I DO NOT play cards. I find it boring beyond compare. Aside from solitaire, I do not know how to play a single card game. But, last night, I found myself playing hearts with John and two other couples, and I DID NOT GET HOW TO PLAY THE GAME. How is it that I have absolutely no aptitude for card games? Perhaps I should just admit it up front so not to appear so stupid among intelligent people who are no more intelligent than I am. What do I need to do?
