So, it was the door!
Permalink  

Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was ? Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses.

Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an Event Boundary in the mind, separating one set of 

thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale.

Thank goodness for studies like this. It's not our age, it's that darn door!

 Did I send this to you already from the other room?

Defective doors in our house.

Wife reliably* remembers every wrong and adds more (speculative) to the mix.

reliably* - as I am advised.

Here I was blaming Uncle Al all this time.

Will it be worse if it's a squeaky door though? That is the question.
