I have become an avid watcher of crime dramas - especially Law & Order (I blame my father and best friend). However, when I watch them I can't help but realize what an absolutely horrible witness I would make. I don't think I could describe the face of someone at work (where I have been for two years) well enough for a sketch artist let alone someone I saw in passing. I just don't seem to work that way.
I truly believe that my brain is simply not wired to be able to remember such things. My father would simply say that I am not trying ... but I think it is more. I think there is something inherent that determines such things.
On the flip side of that coin I have a very good memory of numbers and can often recite conversations word for word ... just don't ask me the hair color of the person I was talking to.
People have one thing in common: they are all different
