I've never been able to keep track of historical things. I seem to have some trouble mentally organizing information and registering facts. My working memory is a sieve. Maybe that's the drug abuse when my frontal lobes should have been developing -- it's hard to say.
Oh well. There's way too much I don't understand & it makes my head hurt. But then, it doesn't seem to matter not to know the big picture. The right here right now gives me plenty to deal with.
How's your here and now, PJ? You've been pretty quiet about yourself lately.
