for our MOM: breathe. know it.

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "867-5309/Jenny" by Tommy Tutone; "Short Memory" by Midnight Oil]

It seems like there are different ways of learning, remembering, and knowing. What's the difference between memorizing, practicing, quizzing yourself, and other ways you have acquired concepts and skills? Yesterday I talked with a friend and both of us realized we still remember phone numbers from when we were kids -  what kinds of things do you remember over time? Events? Middle names? Songs with phone numbers in the titles and inappropriate lyrics that you heard during your friend's birthday party at the roller skating rink? How are your long-term memories related to when/how you originally learned them?
