Brain Waste

As Maria and I drove down the road one day recently, I had an epiphany. I’m wasting my brain, and there is nothing I can do to stop it. We had the radio playing and a song came on. I couldn’t even tell you now what the song was, which is one of the biggest tragedies of the story.

But at the time, I not only knew the artist and title, but I knew pretty much every lyric. And I hadn’t heard the song in years.

Why are those lyrics taking up space in my brain?
