As I have gotten older, this kind of thing is not at all unusual. The strangest thing is when the memory does not come soon after but later in the day when I am not even trying to recall it.

Here is the latest example. I was thinking of old television shows. I got stuck on the name of the show, The Facts of Life. I was never much of a fan. It was an okay show, but geared more towards women. I just could not think of the show’s name or the names of the actors or the names of their characters. All of a sudden I recalled that one of the people on the show was Nancy McKeon. Where that name came from I could not tell you. I did a Web search for McKeon and found the name of the show.
