One of the things I have been blessed with (or coursed with, depending on your viewpoint) is good memory. Many times a week my wife will call  on me to recall some name, some location or some date that has escaped her. That is a good thing, most of the time. Other times it is annoying, as I can recall mundane unimportant facts from decades ago that have absolutely no value today. A good memory is a powerful tool, when it is used right.
