It’s my birthday. For a couple more hours, anyway. I’m starting this blog with the intention of keeping it up for one year. It’s a challenge I set for myself: look back over the last 59 years and try to make some sense out of what I remember. Each month I’m going take on a five year stretch and dredge up as many memories and stories as I can. Some months will be harder than others. Caveat: to quote Geoff Dyer in Yoga for People Who Can’t be Bothered to Do It, everything I write here “really happened, but some of the things that happened only happened in my head;by the same token, all the things that didn’t happen didn’t happen there too.”
