What I Like About It

I like that the blog site is still here.  I like that there are some good posts, and I even like that there are some embarrassing posts.

If and when anyone goes looking, they'll find whatever they're looking for.

I was thinking about this the other day.  My parents are both gone for more than ten years now.  How can it be that I never asked them what it was like for them to be my age back when they were my age?

I know it's because many reasons, mainly because it's all about me, so I wouldn't have been interested in them at the time.  Probably the only reason I'm interested now is because I see parallels in the way I am and the way they probably were then.

But I would like to know more, and so it would be amazing to find a blog they had kept in the days before blogs.  Something better than my blog, of course, something more regularly updated for one thing.

I do have a few things.  People wonder why I've kept them.  Bank account books, for instance.  They are a regular record of saving and spending, and while it will always be somewhat mysterious, there are patterns there that indicate... something.  Some things seem to correlate with vacations taken, appliances purchased, that sort of thing.  It's like Facebook, really.
