I use a Kindle.

What I mean is mentally when I open it up. I remember where I was in the story like what was happening.

When you get an annual physical as a senior. It is not really a cognitive test but they give you a test.

They will give you three words. Then continue with other things and like five minutes later they will ask what were the three words.

It is a baseline test for dementia. You begin to lose scratchpad memory.

It makes me laugh because days later I cannot get the words out of my head. I went back a year later and told the doctor what the previous years'words were.

Friends always ask how do you remember all those details about things we did.

When I was in tenth grade all tenth graders had to take a geography test. Capitals of all the states, capitals of countries and many other geography related questions. A bunch of us spent days quizzing each other. It was like 300 questions. I was the only person to get a perfect score.

Doctors ask that you try new things like taking a language course. I did that and it made me crazy. I had to stop because I kept thinking about the conversation sentences of the lessons. It drove me nuts.

Songs stay in my head for days like a broken record. I have to listen to different songs to get the other songs out of my head. I play the songs in my head while swimming.

I still notice that things are not the same as they once were. I make mental mistakes that I would have never made before.

lol. I knew what you meant, just bustin' chops.

My memory of "the good old days" never fades. I can remember everything like it was yesterday. Yet it's a challenge to remember things I did this week; or the name of a restaurant we ate at last month. It's more weird than it is worrisome.

Speaking of reading though, not sure if you know about this. It came out a few months ago and it's only $3.99 on Kindle for prime days...

Read it. Started it the first day available.

I read everything by Preston & Child. I wait for it.

Check out Young Sherlock from Prime. It starts slowly but then each episode it gets more loaded.

I have thought for years that Pendergast would be on film as a series.
