The answers are in the wind
It was on the tip of my tongue and then whoosh it was gone. It happens to me all the time. It’s not age related because I’ve always been that way. Sometimes it names—well, most of the time it is, other times it is movie titles, book titles, authors, song titles, you name it and I’ve probably stumbled over it.
Get me in a game of Trivia and I will lose. I know the answers but my brain seizes up and misplaces them. I sit there dumb as a post.
DH sometimes will ask me who movie stars are in a movie we’re watching and even though I know their names for the life of me, I can’t tell him. That is until hours later when the names flash into my brain. Of course, he’s probably in bed by then and the answer is useless.
I’ve been told it’s because my brain is so busy with other things that trivia tends to waft off to the ether. I like that explanation it’s much better than thinking my brainpan is fried.

Doggonedmysteries 
Love it ~!
Not forgetful, just a bit of a search and retrieve lag due to an overload of fascinating thoughts. Must be why I drew a blank on my name the other day when the nice woman on the phone asked me.
Oddly enough, I’ve never forgotten a dog’s name, even when their owner’s name is nowhere to be found.
Wow, I do that too. I know all the dogs names around here but the owners names often allude me.
