Memorize This - There Will Be A Quiz

Have you ever had a hard time remembering someone's name you just met a week ago?

Or were told to do something at your place of work

and as soon as the conversation was over you forgot what you were supposed to do?

Don't worry,

you don't have

Alzheimer's,

you just haven't trained your mind properly to remember new things.
(Side note.)

I was into computers right from the early days,

starting in 1989.

Not the exact beginning but pretty close.

My joke,

I often told when I forgot something was to say,

"I have so much information stored up inside my brain that to add more I need to clean out my mind's cache once in awhile."

Well,

it went over as really funny with computer geeks.

You might have heard that,

to remember something,

it is best to set it up with a word

or number association.

How to Quickly Improve Your Memory Using Number Association

 I am here to tell you that association does work,

but better still,

is using your mind on a daily basis to remember things!

What was I talking about?

Oh yeah.
(2nd side note.)

I went to

Saint Mary's Grade School

when I was growing up

in

South Milwaukee,

Wisconsin.

Yes,

my hands were repeatedly slapped with rulers by angry wielding

Nuns.

But that is not the moral of this story.

In the early 1960s

Sister Adelle

was still teaching at our school at the ripe old age of 63.

That was old back then.

And she told her class,

and I have lived up to it ever since,

"To keep your brain sharp throughout your life, you need to memorize one thing per day! Don't write it down. Memorize it!"

I know it has worked for me because I can still recite all

48 States

of the

United States!

This is,

What Do You Mean We Have 50 States Now?

When Did This Happen?

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

"At least with the Catholics, you know that when someone hands you a cracker there’s gonna be wine in the mix at some point."
- Peter Watts -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
