I am fluent in French (I am very rusty).

I used to be able to speak Chinese (Mandarin) very well; now I hardly remember any of it.

I have one brother. I haven't seen him in 21 years. Haven't spoken with him in 16 (long story).

My home is filled with Jen Corace's artwork.

I went to State twice for AP Latin.

I hardly remember any of it.

I have been told I picked up languages easily as a young child (as many do) and spoke very well with several Old World families in the neighborhood. I was between 2-4 when this occured.

I remember NONE of any of the languages I was supposedly so good at speaking (Russian, Italian and German).

I have one half-brother who defected from the family years ago, taking his third wife and his and her and their 4 kids with him. I miss my nephews.

I'm good in step class until they start the combos over from the beginning, then I can't remember what we did first.

I'm sensing a recurring issue with my memory.
