Savoring the Moment

July 12, 2016 / Wally Jarratt / Leave a comment

I barely remember my High School graduation. I do remember older people telling me to enjoy the moment, to remember the experience and to embed it into my mind. I really didn't listen or care, I wanted to just be out of there. I heard all my life to appreciate my parents. To respect my … Continue reading Savoring the Moment

My Memory Is Swamped

Memories and Eye Witness Accounts

August 4, 2014 / Wally Jarratt / Leave a comment

Memories and eyewitness accounts...It is my experience that neither are very reliable. In fact, in my old age I have now begun to question every autobiography I have ever read (both of them). I have a pretty darn good memory, and at one time in my life, I thought it was pretty darn accurate! I … Continue reading Memories and Eye Witness Accounts
