A colleague of mine remembers an exact restaurant and date in he went to in 2005 from work, what exactly they were talking about and what was the favorite chocolate brand of another colleague now in high management. It's a blessing and a curse. He'd prefer not to remember...

I have this curse, but it hits selectively. Sometimes I forget an entire person, but remember that type of random conversation/activity.

I can remember every single "bad" thing or conversation I have had in my life, to the point of having the same feelings.
I wish I could be more selective. Or, like a friend says, that I had a better memory: one that would forget the bad.

I have a very good memory (not as good as 20 years ago), but I don't tend to remember things like this.

Memory is such a weird thing. I can recite the entire script for my favorite movie. I can remember all the Slam winners from the 70's, 80's and 90's.
I can't remember where I left my glasses, with increasing frequency I forget the trivial things.
I recently saw, for the second time, PRINCE OF DARKNESS. I had a pretty good recollection of it, although I saw it in 1987. But there were entire parts of the movie that I had completely wrong.
Last. Music makes me remember places and people. All the people I love have a soundtrack. Meaning, whenever I hear a certain song, they come to mind.

Has everyone seen the baby hippo that's taken the interwebs by storm? Adorable.

I'm surprised that mom allows the keepers to get that close - hippos are the most dangerous animal on the planet.

Beat me to it. That young man could be in real danger.

Unthinkable today, in most countries. Good.
