The End Of September And SO Last Century

When I forget what I am trying to say, I go back to what I have said. 

A friend once told me that in regard to what God had said (e.g. go back to what God had said ... when she can’t hear what God is saying. I’d like to think my memory is not THAT lousy, but lately at work it’s been hard to tell. Or have others tell me so, particularly regarding a delivery 🚚 I should at least be competent docking, but that’s another story. Overall the job’s gone very well and you have no idea how that makes all the difference!

But now to what I want to say. What I had to say ... what caught my eye ... in September, 1999.
