Photographic Memory?
ei·det·ic (ī-dět’ĭk) - adj.
Of, relating to, or marked by extraordinarily detailed and vivid recall of visual images.
I am reminded of the old joke that he/she has a photographic memory, but does not have film in the camera. Funny how women tend to remember so many details of things. Many I’ve known can tell you in minute detail what they wore for their sixteenth birthday party 30 or 40 years ago, or when their spouse proposed to them, or what their spouse wore to dinner on the second night of their honeymoon. As for me, I can’t remember what color shirt I have on without looking. What was she wearing on our wedding day? Hold on, there must be some pictures around here somewhere…

Winston, not only can my wife remember all those details, she looks aghast when I do not! How could I forget the dress she wore out to dinner that night? It was only 18 years ago. Did I not like that dress? LOL
I’m like you…I have to make a visual inspection to tell you what I’m wearing right now.
Men remember more sports trivia er ’stats’, they know esoteric numbers regarding lumber and nails and firearms and ammunition and engine parts and tools and such. We are all probably better at remembering things we care about.
Congrats on the Comment Preview feature!
ei.dei.tic = egg god flea ; Holy lice, batman! That’s a strange word
I’m like you, Winston: I remember nothing. Husband on the other hand can tell you the price of a pint of beer in 1967. I can’t tell you what the weather was like yesterday. And as weather tends to be a popular topic for discussion in this country it makes me a poor converstaionalist as well.
