St Rocketcool Nation

We are supposed to use this assignment to dig deep and reveal something about ourselves, and in the process probably learn something about who we are along the way.  Sadly, I don’t have any juicy stories to tell about a misspent youth or public urination.  I’m just your typical white, middle class, average guy.  My closets are filled, not with skeletons, but cobwebs. 

I really only have one thing that I don’t let people know, most of the time, and that is because it is more embarrassing, then anything else.  For you see, I have a slight problem (or maybe its a gift, who the hell knows) and that is my memory.  For some reason, I usually can’t remember where I put my shoes, how to factor radicals or the number of States in the Union, but I have no trouble calling up useless facts about 80s and 90s television shows.  Who’s the 23rd President?  No clue.  Who played Boner on “Growing Pains”?  Andrew Koenig.  Did I remember to pick up my wife’s dry cleaning?  Nope.  Do I remember the name of the comic strip that Ted Knight drew in the sitcom “To Close For Comfort”?  Yep, The Cosmic Cow.
