Please don't ask me to remind you of anything, it will not end well. I'll forget, and the only thing you'll remember is asking me to remind you of something we've now both forgotten. My older friends frequently post memes on social media poking fun at the memory challenged. Like television commercials targeted at the elderly, they are becoming less laughable and more relatable.
