Something about Memory

 


You’re all caught up, a posting


from Facebook tells me. Check


back tomorrow to see more of


your memories. By tomorrow,



I will have likely forgotten


much of that which happened


today. Mark Twain once said


something profound, some-



thing worth remembering:


When I was younger I could


remember anything, whether


it had happened or not; but



my faculties are decaying


now, and soon I shall be


so I cannot remember


any but the things that



never happened.” And


what’s remarkable to me


is, Mark never had Face-


book to remind him of



such things. Should


Facebook post some-


thing I purportedly


said 6-years ago, and



you happen to not like it,


with which you happen


to disagree, don’t blame


me. I was drinking back



then and can’t remember


lots of what I may have


said. However, I’m glad


to report that I am now



clean and sober. Heaven


help all three of us. Should


we even be around then,


check back with Facebook


and me 6-years from now.
