8988 – tues

Went to the in-laws after work for a junk-food delight – veggie chili dogs, fries, and corn. I was totally beat – BHK and I fairly ate and ran. About all I did before going to bed was make a few game moves… didn’t even really read before hitting the sack.


Memory Issues- and it’s not like I did a lot of drinking, drugs or had blunt head trauma as a kid. That I recall, anyhow.

I don’t remember a lot about my childhood. Sometimes, it seems like I only recall stuff from high-school onwards, and it’s been that way for a very long time. Sure, there’s the odd tv show, or family outing… but the majority is missing without something to spark a memory. Written journals help some.

I don’t remember when I first learned to read.

I don’t really remember when my parents divorced, or how we were told that they were splitting up.

I don’t remember getting to the hospital where my father died…how I got there, who was with me. I remember seeing him on the bed, with the monitors running.

I only vaguely remember moving out of the house at 17, over thanksgiving.

I don’t remember much of my time spent at home at age 15-16, outside of working on the old Atari 800 bbs.

I don’t remember reading many of my childhood books… I remember the stories, but not the actual running of my eyes over the words.

I only remember a few of my classmates, and the bulk of those were in high school. I do remember my friends in first grade, and my fellow safety patrol members in 5th.

I remember members of my social groups – gaming, music, theater, and so on.

I can’t remember my fellow boy scouts, but I vaguely remember Mr Pierce, mostly because I went back to the same troop with BA and SJ during their scout phase.

I can remember a few of the gang from Civil Air Patrol… but I can’t recall my flight instructor at all. I know it was a man, but I couldn’t pick him out of a lineup.

8987 – mon

BHK and I skipped on movie and dinner at Friendly’s – too much fair food and activity made it simpler to just head on home after work.

Rough day, but worth having. I got pretty upset and discombobulated about my brother’s situation, as I am prone to be – especially with his birthday coming up and talking to the momster on the phone. I’ve got to remember to put on better armor before picking up the phone at this time of year. It really wore me out, and I’m glad that I got to flush my system a little bit.

Future 2007 events in a nutshell. Some stressful, some wonderful, some just a reminder to myself to shoot a card or friendly howdy out.

  • Bro’s Birthday in about 2 weeks.
  • Wedding anniversary and Halloween at the end of October. Trip? Party?
