I can sympathize with Hillary Clinton. I mean, who hasn’t occasionally mis-remembered an event that happened long ago? Maybe you got off a plane in Bosnia and had to run (in serpentine motion?) to avoid possible sniper fire, or maybe that’s just how you remember it. So much sniping over the years…who can be expected to remember minor details?

Of course, I’m kidding about Hillary and her tall tale of landing in Bosnia and having to run, head down, for cover, which didn’t happen.
I don’t know why she exaggerated events, but I do know that if every word I spoke was roughed up by a Truth Squad, I’d be apologizing for my mistakes a lot, mostly because my memory is not so great, and getting worse.

Well, that’s not exactly accurate. My memory for names and appointments is getting worse. I can still recite whole chunks of dialogue from The Princess Bride, Zoolander, All About Eve, and about a dozen other movies. You know, the really important stuff.

I thought a fading memory was just one of those inevitable things that happens to you as you get older. But that’s apparently not true, according to a memory expert, Dr. Cynthia Green. She’s a psychologist and author of Total Memory Workout, and she came by Howdini recently to tell us how to keep our memories sharp. You’ll find a whole series of memory improvement Howdinis HERE in our health and well being category.

Maybe Senator Clinton would like to drop by Howdini for a memory refresher.
