I've Decided

From now on, I will never greet someone by their first name. Just a "Hello" or a "How are you?" Or perhaps both.

I can not remember anyone's name. Ever. It is bad. So by my logic, if I never greet anyone by their name, then I'll never be seen as the kind of guy that doesn't remember names. So the next time I run into you, whether I know your name or not, I will not put your name into my greeting.

Not that anyone would have ever noticed this new strategy except for me. But, I'm just simply stating this for the record.

Thank you.

Ha! I'm the same way. I chalk it up to having too much useless music and baseball trivia stored in my head. What's your excuse?

Do you think the alcohol has targeted particular brain cell clusters (the name remeberers) for destruction?

I'm on board for this. When people say my name it always sounds like they're providing exposition in a play.
