You are most welcome...about 15 years ago, I began saving texts of posts I write on FR, particularly the non-political ones (though, not exclusively)
I see my siblings memories beginning to fade, and I write these for four reasons:
One, is to prepare for the day when my memory begins to fail.
Two, because I enjoy writing, and I use FR to sharpen my skills.
Three, because I may someday write a book about my extraordinary, yet ordinary life in which I have had many improbable yet completely average experiences. These are my notes to remind me of things that occur to me, but may at any given time, be lost to the cobwebs of my own dimming history.
And Four, because my experiences that are so extraordinary and entertaining to me, I feel certain that they are wholly run-of-the-mill and are in many cases universal types of experiences which I hope can make them fully understandable, relatable to others, and...I hope, entertaining to those who may read them on this treasured forum...:)
Boy, have I had a great life, and I marvel that while it seems so eventful to ME, it is an indicator to me that this great nation has opened up the lives of millions of people just like me who have been blessed to experience their own amazing lives, and that is a direct result of being an American.
