Thank you. I’ve been trying to remember to add all such posts to the Memoir category, both so readers will know they’re nonfiction, and also so I can re-find them easily, perhaps someday for an actual memoir-type thing.

I’m glad. Yesterday was Via Negativa’s birthday, which I didn’t feel like commemorating particularly — but I think that’s what got me ruminating on the past.

Thanks! It’s so interesting to think about one’s parents when they were younger than one is now (ten years younger, in this case).
