Remembering, is a talent we writers tend to cultivate. We mine our memory banks for interesting stories to tell, hone in on details we might use to illuminate a sense of place, a time, a mood. We ask our family, our friends, our colleagues, Do you remember the time…? And are puzzled when they recall events differently. Or worse yet, maybe they remember nothing at all. — Recently my husband reconnected with an old high school friend and they compared memories.
