I have entries that are over fifteen years old. Rereading these is entertaining. I remind myself of things that happened that I have forgotten. I suppose that is the point of writing: to make a record that I can refer to at some time in the future. But here’s the thing: Is anyone going to scroll back that far to read these entries?</p>
