The saddest thing is that as I get older, I find my recall starting to fail. I'm struggling more and more to pull facts I know that I know. The deluge of information coming from my yammering maw is increasingly choppy and punctuated by trying to remember exact bits of info.

Yeah, and just so that it's extra frustrating, it's not the memory (retention) that is failing as much as the recall of it.
