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.

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... HERE WE GO BROWNIES! HERE WE GO!!

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.
