    Often it’s the writing down and drawing that fixes it in memory.

    Journals are sometimes like foodie pictures. Why would you want to go back and look at them?

    #Bilan: Why would you take foodie pictures in the first place? Enjoy the food while it’s there, and loose the camera (ie. The phone)

    Do New York Times Friday and Saturday crossword puzzles, then do some cryptic crossword puzzles

    Frazz, Frazz. That’s the material for your next song!

    She’s a teacher. It’s not like she watches soaps all day.

    Frazz gave her good advice. For me, writing down some things I would like to do on a day makes me want to work the list. Get more things done that way because I hate to see me letting things slide. On the other hand, compiling memoirs wouldn’t work especially well for me as, like Mrs. Olsen, I spent 25 years as a teacher. Except for some very exceptional and very rare days, the mosaic of memories is generally pastel and two-dimensional.

    Another way to enhance memory is from photos. I have never been without a camera of some sort since the early 1950’s. My memories are compiled in albums and on disks, and those are good enough for me. I guess I could try writing stories around those photo moments, but I wonder that wouldn’t make them less interesting instead of more.

    Basically, Frazz is right. It’s whatever works.

    Memories light the corners of my mind

    Misty water-colored memories of the way we were

    Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind

    Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were

    Can it be that it was all so simple then

    Or has time rewritten every line

    If we had the chance to do it all again

    Tell me, would we? Could we?

    Memories may be beautiful and yet

    What’s too painful to remember

    We simply choose to forget

    So it’s the laughter we will remember

    Whenever we remember

    The way we were

    Not all memories are wroth remembering.

    @scherzo: that could become you, should you eventually reach her age.

    I like looking over my old work — from adulthood. Most of my childhood work just embarrasses me now, even when my mom likes it.

    Pretty damn ironic for a guy who makes his money off royalties for a song he wrote years ago.
