While making two radio shows yesterday, I was plagued with forgetfulness. To begin with, I forgot to push a certain button that makes the formants hop. And when I played Honeysuckle Rose, I thought it was Flat Foot Floogie. I couldnt figure out how the song could have gotten twisted around on the CD and puzzled over it while it was playing until my head seemed to get it right. Then, I couldnt remember how to convert the file from mp2 to mp3. I recently had to download a new program that did it, and I couldnt remember that I had that program or how to find it or even what it was. Could it have been just a bad day? We always heard stories about old men who couldnt remember if they were going to the store or coming home. My neurologist friend sent me a carton of Brainstrong pills, but I havent been eating them for a month or so. But I started again yesterday, now that my stomach is under control, to see if they will make a difference. Ive looked up estero several times but keep forgetting what it means. I hope I have it this time. And today I was thinking of hubris. It is a word I read from time to time but cant remember what it means. Kids no longer study Latin or Greek. Too bad, because what you learn when you are young is likely to stick with you. I work on my Italian about every day, reading it and working the 50 tough words on flash cards, but dont seem to be gaining a gosh darn inch. Yesterday I rode my bicycle 11 miles while listening to Gj Boon read Agatha Christie in Dutch for the umpteenth time and, even though he goes pretty fast in some places, I have that pretty well down. So there is hope there. But Im concerned about not being able to remember simple things. Could it happen to you?
