Phatic

I'm about to have a shower. Must be quick.

Just come back from FantasyCon. Had a great time. Now much catching up to do.

I was deleting sent messages from my phone's memory just now. Some of them reminded me of moments of my life I had forgotten. It's possible (quite possible) that this will be the last time in my entire life I remember those particular moments, prompted by reading old messages I have sent. Life is largely (not entirely) made up of such moments. They disappear as easily as I delete these messages. Or more easily, since I feel a twinge each time I delete such a message, even if it's just something like, "Okay, will be there."

It occurred to me to preserve some of the sent messages here, for… well, not eternity of course. In a way, I don't know if that's better or worse than deleting them. I'll try it, anyway, and I suppose I will know in time whether I feel it is better or worse. The very first sent message in my phone's memory (the oldest, that is) is:

I would

The next is (I'll blank out names):
