I continue to find evidence that my human brain is very similar to the very first computer created decades ago. It certainly cannot be compared to today’s Smart phone or an advanced Apple or Dell Computer.
What’s my evidence? This continuing experience. I awoke this morning with a song in my head, some words and the hint of a rhythm which reminded me of a fine male singer. But try as I could, the singer’s name would not come up. I used the A,B,C, approach several times, but still, the name would not appear in my brain. This went on for better than a half hour. And then, just as I was about to move my body toward leaving my bed and my wife beside me, lo and behold, the name Vaughn Monroe jumped into my mind and I began to laugh. Forget dementia or Alzheimer’s and just chalk it up as usual to the slow processing of an older version of the human computer brain. It works slow these days, but the good news is, it’s still working.
By the way. I think Vaughn Monroe is worth listening to even if my wife, when I told her of my experience, admitted she’d never heard of him.
