CNN.com - RSS Channel - HP HeroDr. Sanjay Gupta: Memory fades as we age. But it doesn't have to

I know that sounds grim, and I am hoping to get more time than that, but I often do these mental calculations because the clock of life inspires me to make the most of the years that remain. That constant tick-tock reminds me to fill the final decades with invigorating experiences to bank in my inner black box -- a delightful cache of memories to replay over and over in my mind like a favorite movie.
