You want to know something? It turns out to be impossible just to write down the major events in your life in chronological order--to make the timeline, my original intention in beginning this blog.
It's impossible because of a fundamental design flaw: namely, that you dion't know the major events of your life! As you go to write them down, you think of dozens of other events associated with the one you've mentally picked out as 'significant' or 'major,' and who's to say that the dozens of other events aren't every bit as important as the one(s) you've picked out to go on the timeline?
Try it...you'll see. You start to write something down, but then you want to explain it, to elaborate, to call up the memories around that event. And pretty soon, you're hopelessly lost. That's what's happening to me! Lost in the Glop!
