How is it that I can remember a 50-year-old phone number but cannot remember my new cell phone number?
I can remember not just one, but two ancient phone numbers [one, my grandmother’s, even had an operator answer]. I know there is short-term and long-term memory, but I’ve had this cell phone for 8 months now. How short is short?
Do I have to start fretting about Alzheimers, along with all my other neurotic worries?
