or...my mind is wandering.
Case and I have a list of user ids and passwords for the numerous websites we go to. They are kept on a large piece of paper placed between our computers. (Yes, we each have a computer because someone has a difficult time sharing, and he wasn't an only child. That topic will be saved for a possible future blog.) After moving, changing banks, etc, I have typed this list as the handwritten one was just about too scratched up to read. It is both sides. I remember when we used the same info for all of our 2 websites. Didn't need to write anything down. Each site has certain parameters: how many characters, upper and lower case, letters and numbers. You know the drill. How can anyone remember all of these? The experts have stopped telling the public not to write any down and don't keep it beside the computer. Sorry, experts, that ship has sailed. And then there are the personal safety questions. Name of the best man at your wedding. Father's middle name. Your first car. Gone are the days of only "your mother's maiden name." Some websites we share. Some are separate. Recently I was looking up one of mine when I saw one of his. "Red Horde" What the heck is a red horde? His answer: high school mascot. I use mine sometimes - Panthers. That got us talking about high school. Had the NCAA on TV. Which brought us to Coach K at Duke. Case went to Weber High School in Chicago with him (different class).
So I started with computer passwords and ended up with the NCAA basketball tournament....my mind is wandering.
