A few weeks ago I reviewed Nintendo's "Brain Age" for the DS handheld and found it somewhat dull. Always on the lookout for fun and worthwhile brain exercise tools, this week I grabbed a copy of Nintendo's "Big Brain Academy" with the hope that a different approach might bring some fun into my mental workout.

Do you have too many of those "now what was I doing?" moments? Can't remember that great idea you had just a moment ago?
On a recent MacBreak Weekly podcast, veteran radio / tv / tech guy Leo Laporte remarked:
"You know, it's actually encouraging for those of us, as we get older, because now ... technology is designed to take over where our brains leave off. I use 'Google-assisted memory' all the time. I don't remember anything, but I can find it fast."

What the heck is the Dorothy Syndrome and what does it have to do with mid-life crisis? Well, it has everything to do with MLC! The Dorothy Syndrome is a phrase that I coined and is the premise for my upcoming book titled "The Dorothy Syndrome: Mid-life on the Yellow Brick Road". While coaching at another web site forum, I started using the metaphors used in one of my favorite stories and movies..."The Wizard of OZ". I was astonished at how easily I could use the dialog from the movie or premise of the story to describe the transitions, emotions, the typical experiences that occur during an MLC, whether it be for the woman or the man. »more»
