AM I BACK?

I've made myself no promises.  So I can't say that I'M BACK. 
I don't want to put any pressure on myself to produce content for this blog.
I'm back to being blasé about watching films.
I started reading e-books.  I like the time I save by finding out that I really don't want to read a particular book after all.  Notes and Reviews became a habit.


I know that I waste time by reading headlines, especially repetitive headlines. 
Especially headlines and stories that have no impact on my life at all.
So any headline and story I link to, must be part of a scrapbook.


I need to not scatter my time.


Lately my interests have turned back to music.
My personal music inventory is immense.
I've been ordering in and listening to jazz and singer-songwriter albums that I haven't ever heard by my favorite artists or that I haven't heard in a while.


I don't feel sentimental, at least not enough to only remember good things.
Is all history revisionist?
There's a good argument in favor of that idea.
But I think we owe it to ourselves, if no one else, to tell ourselves the truth about ourselves and the person we were in our past.
Can you conjure the person you were at 16?  21?  Last year?
