Seems to me you chaps may have found a solution or a way of delaying eventual
memory loss, its commonsly said our grey matter tends to be less efficient as
we age, and those of us who are nearing or have passed 60 years of (s)age could
take this on board. Though you two appear to be mentally as steady as 25 year
olds, me, well more than triple this these days at least...........
Recently as 4 or 5 years ago I could have held my memory & any 25 year old
with every bit of scrap information from the time we landed at London Airport
in 1961 till a few years ago but these last few years have taken their toll on
my little grey cells, I seem to forget names, sometimes place names, I will
wander mid-sentence or lose the thread of my conversations with friends, family
& even my customers at my business. Now if that's not a form of "creeping
alzheimers........" I dont know what is.
The grey matter needs working upon, daily & regularly reading, not just for
eye exercise but keeping up with current affairs around the world (especially
these days in Goa, there is so much going on there, sufficient for anyone
keeping away the dreaded memory loss, stay alert & fit until at least they
reach 100 and beyond....).
I tried to remember things by association & this sometimes works but
eventually, like the dreaded "house of cards", it only takes a little
wind..............
I would like to vist this wikipedia site Patrice Riemens recommended to you,
please if you will pass it on.

I had known of localised memory. I can remember, for instance, the exact
place on note cards and on notebooks where I made my jottings (of archival
and other readings) during the past 40 years or so................Those
interested could read more
about it in Tony de Melo's very popular book entitled *Sadhana: A way to
God*.
