Just Like Riding a Bike

Last night I decided to do something I haven't done since I was in junior high. My wife found, of all places, 'the internet', a baseball scorecard and a refresher course to scoring a baseball game. I quickly glimpsed over the information and it all came back instantly. So, while watching the the Yanks drop one to the Phillies, I charted the game, just as I had done 30 years ago. It's a good way to watch a baseball game if you suffer from A.D.D. Afterwards, it got me thinking, "How much information is locked away in my head that I haven't accessed in a long time"? I would probably be amazed, thrilled, and embarrassed all at the same time, if this information were flashed before me on a screen, or I poke my finger in my eye and a continual feed of paper prints out of my mouth all the data I've forgotten over the years. I wonder how much of it would now be useful, and how much I could delete from memory that happens to be taking up the limited space in my noggin? Speaking of A.D.D., the homemade pop tarts the other night were delicious. I used strawberry jam in some, and Nutella in the rest. The only flaw was the homemade aspect, and not the artificial factory cardboard taste we've grown up with. Would I make these again? A resounding 'YES'! If any of you out there aren't aware of what Nutella is, you had better make a special quest to the grocery store to discover what the 'big deal' is all about. If it weren't for H1N1, it would have been ideal for trick or treaters. Give each kid a lick off of the spoon and send them on their way! You DEFINITELY would have been the talk of the neighborhood.
