All That We Have Learned
A few weeks ago my roomie and I took a mini road trip to Memphis. Somehow in the drive down we started talking about state capitols. We then tried to to name all the state capitols. We couldn't do it. Is that sad? I remember back in maybe in the 5th grade when we were tested on the state capitols and you had to know every single one. Now I am lucky if I can remember 10 state capitols. Why is it as we get older do we seem to lose some of that information we learned when we were little. Or is it just me? I am always amazed when a celebrity puts out a biography and they remember what they were doing on a certain day when they were 3. How can anyone remember that? Do they just have amazing steel trap memories? Sometimes it is a stretch to remember what I had for dinner last night let alone when I was three. So go ahead, try to name all the state capitols without using google. How did you do??

It's kind of a use it or loose it thing I think.
don't worry, a lot of the information is still there, it's just stored in the back of your brain, but i bet if you had even a blank map in front of you, your could name a lot more.
I recently just went through a ton of my old undergrad college papers, I don't remember a thing form all those books, but, damn, I was smart back then! ha ha.

I got 53, but I couldn't remember the other 6.
The capitol of Michigan is Lansing!!
