You are probably being very hard on yourself.

Very intelligent people tend to be that way.

I completely understand TheWriterTX's predicament and can empathize. When you've lived most of your life being able to speed-read "War and Peace" in the original Russian, while simultaneously solving the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle on the fly, suddenly having to occasionally struggle to recall, e.g., a line of poetry by some obscure, second-rate Roman poet can be worrisome.

You are correct, Alex. I never read War and Peace in the original Russian, but I was able to sketch out a build for a new nightstand for my daughter and write my annual business plan while simultaneously feeding my kids on a long road trip.

I could not do that today. My mind would get lost.
