In memory

What sticks with us?

Tonight I was asked to spell a word – CHIRAC.  It was for a crossword my wife was doing.  The French president followed Mitterand. 

As I began to spell the word it was as though I could see the letters sitting on a canvas.  Perhaps I had the word in my memory banks from a previous time. 

I often wondered how people can have photographic memories.

Well, my guess is my brain can’t develop whole pictures.  But maybe a few letters at a time.  I’d be satisfied with that.

Now, if I could just remember how to spell – “GO TO BED.”
