Memory

I've always had an imbalanced memory - take me to movie and I will remember the director, some of the photography, with luck the apparent point of the movie. And that was when I was young. My, ex, on the other hand, could recite the storyline and that of the classics.

I figured out that I listen to sound and tone, then and now, though I don't hear as well now, and watch for visuals, scenes, and maybe not the important scenes re movie reviews.

I may do this re life.


Lately I think my mixed able memory may be beginning to miss stuff.

I was just now trying to remember my business partner's landscape foreman's name. Of course I visualize him. Took me about a minute and a half to pull up his name.


Personally, I put this down to lack of use - I don't live in a world where I inhabit a culture of many, right now.

Use it or lose it? What does that mean?

I do use my memory, all day. And I suppose all my life, I've forgotten stuff. I remember using the starts with S trick decades ago.
