I experience this name-recall deficit on a regular basis! I definitely don’t like that it’s happening to me, but I attribute it to being in contact with so many different people each day, and OLD AGE!!!

So you are taking a university course? What is the topic?

And BTW, love reading your work!

The part of my brain that catalogues names of people and places has gone missing. I suffer from extreme Lethologica!! It used to be embarrassing then it became annoying and now it’s increasingly frustrating. Like you, I wonder how much of my lifestyle contributed to this?

Fun Fact; three times while writing this brief statement I forgot the next word I meant to use. Make that four!!!!

Haha. I'm really relieved you understand this condition, Mauro. I live with this deep terror that one day the true carnage of my previous existence will make itself known in the most public way possible. But at least, the wait will finally be over and I can say, 'There it is! The crack damage!'
