but at times the mind can get fuzzy of the events’ details

To quote Mark Twain: “The older I get, the more clearly I remember things that never happened.”

When Tia Carmen was a kid, they had TV and (basic) computers and telephones, stereos, and telex machines — and they had adults grousing about how kids never used their imaginations anymore because they were always glued to the boob tube.

I heard once that most of our memories are fiction and things simply didn’t happen the way we remember them.

I know I’ve watched movies and TV shows that I saw as a kid and there are scenes that turned out to be totally different from my memory of them.

In semi-literate societies some claimed that writing made you stupid. If you didn’t write your memory was a finely honed tool. If you wrote you created post-it notes, that you were continually losing and couldn’t remember anything.

Tia Carmen probably gave Dorros the idea for the book “Abuela” by Arthur Dorros

Cool memory. I would have needed a kite as big as the Hindenburg to have done that to me…..

Wave to the camera?

Be sure to see today’s Ziggy.

Memories are better than photographs, because then the fish can be as big as it needs to be. ;-)
