Yesterday I asked if it's really easier for young people to memorize their lines in a play than some of us who are more mature (to put it kindly). My west coast brother says that yes, it's absolutely easier for young people to memorize anything. He bases this statement on his theory that young people, in his words "haven't got all that stuff already packed in." I think this makes a lot of sense. When you have the stock market, the mid-term election, Medicare options (aren't you sick of those commercials?) healthy diets and taxes on your mind, (or make your own list), it's harder to focus on memorizing make-believe conversations. Actually, I do have my few little lines memorized, but I'm just explaining so, if I goof during a performance, you'll understand.
After presenting me with his theory, my brother gave me one more bit of information to stuff into my busy brain, so of course I'll share it with you. On this date, October 28, in 1886 the Statue of Liberty was dedicated. You're welcome.
