I would say that the more I read other sailors' stories and memories, I feel compelled to write more of my own. Writing the memories brought more of them back to life and cleared out some of the haze built up from years of 'Storage' in cobwebs and recesses of my mind. This writing exercise also brings long-forgotten memories to mind that I haven't thought about in years. As time rolls on, I feel that I will visit these questions again and perhaps add or subtract a few things; time will tell. It seemed odd at first that I was writing a story and found myself laughing out loud while alone at my desk, and I think that it is healthy to laugh at yourself from time to time. You know life is funny if you don't take it too seriously, know what I mean, Vern?
