In 1974 I started keeping a journal.  I continued for a lot of years, pretty much until I got married,  and still jot things down now and then.  Every once in a while I look over the old notebooks, and it's pretty amazing.  Sometimes I can't believe I was so stupid, and sometimes I wish I could go back to that time.  I'm really glad now that I wrote all that stuff down (well, not the stupid things, but...), because I would have forgotten so much of it.  And I guess it's pretty self-indulgent, but I'd like to share some of my memories with my friends and family - maybe you'll see yourselves and relive some pleasant times as well.

This is what poet Edna St. Vincent Millay
said about her journal:

This book when I am dead will be
A little faint perfume of me.
People who knew me well will say
She really used to think that way.
I do not write it to survive
My mortal self but being alive
And full of curious thoughts today
It pleases me somehow to say
This book when I am dead will be
A little faint perfume of me.
Once upon a time....
