Introduction

I am getting older and it is affecting my memory. I seem to be forgetting things that I would have remembered at one time. I used to be a wiz at movies and music and was able to summon the names of actors, actresses, directors and other odd facts at will. The other day I saw Octavia Spencer in an episode of Big Bang theory and actually had to think for a minute to recall her name, which is just the most recent example of my memory short comings. With that being said, I am still at the top of my game in movie and music pop culture, but I would like to try this blogging thing in an effort to use it as a sort of diary, so I can hopefully keep my memory keen. There are also memories of my childhood that I can hopefully preserve using this as a tool for recollection. The final thing I hope to accomplish is to record my thoughts and current whims. If no one ever reads any of these things they will still be here for me as sort of a "Pensieve" from the Harry Potter world were the wizards were able to store their memories in a device that would free up space in their minds. I have never blogged before so this first entry is somewhat of a trial run, but lets see how this works.
