20240415 Memory Improvement from Injury

 Usually by 3 PM each day, my thinking ability has pretty much evaporated.  

My memory is slowly getting better.  I have discovered in last few days that exploring new environments such as getting coffee in Concord, visiting the lawyer for our moving to a new home, exposes to me a lot of my forgetfulness.  My bad memory is very bothersome to me and probably others when I am away from home and in a new situation.

After we bought an agreement to live in Concord, we learned that Douglas Hatfield lived at “HHH” and he is the head of the project committee for the homes.  Douglas Hatfield was a good friend of my father.  He had a son that I was aware of but didn’t know very well because he was about 6 grades behind me at my school.

I spent some time reviewing my memories and physical records of my father's relationship with attorney Douglas Hatfield and it brought back many memories from the last 40 years about Hatfield, his family, Sunday Church services in Hillsboro and one of his female attorneys who I met in the 90’s when I was visiting my parents in NH.

I am grateful now that I did not dispose of “old” records because they were “old.”  They just fill boxes and boxes of writing that I had completely forgotten I had ever written.  I was reminded of them when I started going through them to find and clear out junk.  Not much junk, but a lot of personal history that I had forgotten.

Potential organization into my personal autobiography, or at least a few short stories over the future years.  My example is “I. Asimov."
