Memory-Schmemory

I am notorious at forgetting things. Not birthdays, anniversaries, or what I wore on a certain day years ago.. but factual things like.. specific details that occurred in a television show, historical facts, and rules to games. I suck very HARD at remembering things of that manner. So when I happened upon this article in the NY Times, I decided that I am going to take a crack at this whole memory bit. Maybe it won't be too late to teach an old kitty new trickety tricks, ey?
