Day 18,994. I've been encouraged (for years) to record my life story. I think of myself as an open book, but I'm somewhat reserved. I tend to think that while my life is interesting, it's not any more interesting than most of my friends'. And the problem is that I edit myself as I go along when writing, but don't when storytelling. I'll see what I can do about just recording the thoughts and trying not to self-edit with this blog. So happy day after my birthday to me. Here's the start of my blog.
