My dad (who had some form of memory loss - they thought Alzheimer's, but 
after he passed away, they were able to do a test that showed that that 
wasn't what it was) always said "memory's the second thing to go."

He was never able to recall the first - at least, that was the joke. :)

Memories are strange things.  I can remember weird details from my youth 
that were inconsequential - my employee number at the store I worked at 
when I was a teenager, for example - burned into my brain for some reason.

But I was trying to think of the name of a TV programme earlier today, 
and it was just gone.  I had to look it up.  If I hadn't, it would have 
bothered me all night.
