Darn Door!

Whew, scientific proof. What a relief to learn this!

Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was?
Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses.
Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an Event Boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next.
Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room andprepares a blank slate for the new locale.
Thank goodness for studies like this.  It's not our age, it's that darn door !
PS: Did I  tell you about this already?
