short term memory

seeing 50 first dates reminded me of the patient i had seen with short term memory loss.......she was pregnant......and needed counselling......and have a plan in place......but she had these episodes when she would switch off.........and then wouldnt remember what has happenned in the last five minutes...........she had a very supportive husband.....which i think is of prime importance........one wonders that are such people bestowed with some other special capability.......a compensatory benefit to replace the unfortunate deficit........or is it just a disease.........its there as a loss......just a loss.......which i think would bring the most powerful player in action.........for those who believe in god......there should be equations.........however bizzare.........for those who dont.....they would have to accept losses on their own.........i include myself more to the second category than the first........and thus make no presumptions about equations..........even if they seem brutally counter-intuitive........the national museum of welsh life was also a journey through time........you could feel life 400 years ago.........just at the end of the dark ages..........when the light of scientific thinking had begun to dawn on 2000 years of chosen human ignorance..........ah.......how interesting a thing is time.........the fastest itinerent.......which the memory forever chases.......
