    What a relief to learn this...

    Whew! What a relief to learn this...

    Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was?

    Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses.

    Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway
    triggers what is known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next.
    Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale.

    Thank goodness for studies like this. It's not our age, it's that darn door!
    Lots of excuses ehrm, doors in my house...

    I answered the door and forgot my reply.

    I don't know, I was too busy looking for my keys.

    I eventually found them—in the refrigerator.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Hey, that Tom Rush video was shot at Humphrey's here in San Diego. It's a crappy music venue, actually, but it does have a nice view of the harbor.

    Just where would you like to go to be stuck?
