No doubt it is a rare disease that strikes a lot of American men, it could be associated with being exposed to too much gun fire but she might counter that thought with, "you may be exposed to more if your memory doesn't improve"........seems the only remedy is to keep a small calendar and write down those important dates that could endanger your health if you continue to forget them. But then, if you all of a sudden are really good at remembering things, she might wonder what you have really been up to!

It's amazing how a young boy can read Jack O'Connor and Elmer Keith when ten or eleven years old and remember specific details of that reading after six years of college, a bit of military service, and thirty some years in the business world, as well as raising a family. Is there a name for this phenomenon?

Yes..... selective memory.

Bob,
I guess we all remember what is really interesting to us. Don't tell your wife I said that.

I have been asked that same question over decades, just with slightly different wording - Why is it that you can remember any little clump of brush anywhere you have ever been where there was a pheasant and forget you were supposed to ........... (multiple inserts here)
