At 71, I have to document. I started a long time ago. I worked for a mec. contractor long ago, and the rule was: ‘If you didn’t write it down, it didn’t happen.’ That just carried over to everything I do.

Do you write down what you write down on the internet?

As in a blog or wiki? I do not because I am not authoritative. What I know came from reading, doing, screwing it up, ad nauseam. When something finally clicks for me, I write it down because 9 times out of 10, I will need that info later. But my writing would be so full of inaccuracies that it would be embarrassing and possibly lead someone astray.

You may jest, but there are times when I can’t remember what I had for breakfast. They say that you never truly forget anything, but that our recall mechanism fades over time. For a myriad of reasons, including age, my recall mechanism is shit.
