The memory man is selective with tough criteria. He delegates countless applicants to the dreaded short term memory. Grocery store trips, geometry rules, and magazine articles commiserate over their shared fate. But every so often, the memory man spots a gem, polishes it off, restores the details and keeps it forever. Although it requires more effort, these gems are worth the work. Currently, the memory man is unavailable — he has been working overtime these past four days but has been compensated by thousands of gems. By Laura Redmond
