Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night with a start and realize that you forgot to do something important?

Have you ever noticed that people tend to sit at the same seat? This phenomenon was mentioned at a recent Gotham meeting. Members just sat at their “regular” seats. Same perspective of the room and others.  No judgment. Simple observation.
