Forgetfulness & neurosoftware

I have used a 4-digit code on my office phone to access stored phone messages at least once a day for the past three years. On Thursday I forgot it. Should I take up brain calisthenics? Where did I put my Nintendo?

I had to use the search function on my blog to recall the name of the singer, you know, what's-his-name, who dealt with the issue of, what was that again, oh yeah, forgetfulness.

......and thinking of Tom Rush and the songs I really liked of his (here) I found a version of "Urge for Going' by Joni Mitchell (she wrote this beautiful song) recorded around 1965 that was even better than Tom's version. How come I remember all this old stuff?

Use your postcode for stupid codes where it doesn't matter who really has access like the phone messages.

perhaps don't use it for your bank account access
