I need a memory course…

…or maybe a brain transplant. Last week when we had baptisms one of my greatest fears…besides drowning someone…was that I would call them by the wrong name. As many of you know(especially if I call you by the wrong name) I have about zero memory…especially for names.

Well things were going along pretty well until I completely blanked out on someone’s name…someone I knew really pretty well…someone who had spent 15 hours at the relay for life so I had talked to her lots…I just completely blanked on her name. I thought I could be “cool” so I leaned over to my wife Michele and asked her “Quick..what’s her name???” “Michelle…her name is Michelle!” was the answer. The worst part is that I thought no one knew…turns out I’m not that “slick” and “newly baptized Michelle” heard the whole conversation. yeeesh! I am so embarrassed…

  1. Frank…er Steve…I’m pretty sure you can relate to this post because I called you the wrong name all day at whiteboard..HA

  2. At least it is safer than forgetting the name of your wife, and not as bad as forgetting your own name.
