time markers

It's Marathon Monday again. In chatting with my lecturer at "the college," I recall joking about running it with my labmates last year. I consult my archives and read my entries from last April. I'm downright amazed how rereading the limited nonsense I recorded a year ago is so effective in jolting my memory and reminding me of a whole slew of vivid details of things I didn’t actually record, including specifics and images of events I didn't even hint to in the entry. Like it was yesterday. Perhaps my memory is not as horrible as I imagine, but just requires the correct prompting. Or is simply enhanced by writing. I suppose when I write, it makes me think, and review lots of information in my head, thus capturing much of it, even though I physically record only a very limited amount. Nice to have that photo too, since I lost all the pictures stored on my computer when my hard drive crashed…

Yes, I blog primarily for my own entertainment.
