However, in general I was working at an environmental testing lab, but almost done there and ready to leave for grad school in just another week.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-18534806433035010442012-08-28T17:54:17.345-04:002012-08-28T17:54:17.345-04:00Pearl, keeping that record is a wonderful thing. ...Pearl, keeping that record is a wonderful thing.

Once upon a time, when I was a child, I had a little pink diary. I think I made three entries. I kept a calendar when I worked, but only out of necessity.

Protect those notebooks.<br /><br />I owe a debt to Dracula because as a Boy Scout I read that novel written in the form of journal entries.<br /><br />That inspired me to begin my own journal... one I have kept off and on for ages.<br /><br />In 2005, my kids set my journals up as an almost daily blog online--with a few ancient entries from the '70s & 80's.<br /><br />My journals help me try to make sense of life... sometimes.

One of the sorrows of my life was losing most of them in a house fire.<br /><br />The one remaining journal was written when I was 19 and when reading it I wonder how I could have been so callow and yet still able to walk and chew gum at the same time. =)The Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482237436135513483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-86215996604728298192012-08-27T08:04:33.017-04:002012-08-27T08:04:33.017-04:00That is/was a nice idea.

Even with my better than good memory I have a difficult time assigning events of the 1980's to specific years - it was, as general recollections indicate, a very tumultuous decade for me. (Yes, DECADE) What most annoys me tho about that decade is I can't remember what music I was listening to, and liking.
