I am that way as well, if I actually do something then there is a far better chance of me being able to do it again, haha.

Hello Paul - each of us learns in different ways.  Discovering that way is important for the one teaching as well as those who continue their studies every day.

A wonderful quote and very true. I find if I am doing something with my hands I remember what I am doing much better than just reading about it.
