Memory

is such a slippery fish.  I'm constantly forgetting everything I've ever known.  Which is probably why I am so amazed by all these things that I already knew.  My brain is like a bucket of sand with a hole in the bottom, constantly spilling spilling spilling even as I shovel more on top.  If you memorize it, no one can take it away from you -- it's in the bucket forever -- a permanent tool in your toolbox that is never discarded for lack of use.  But I need more tools than can fit in a bucket.

In short: more blog posts.  We are what we read; or better, we are what we remember.
