Sometimes I ask questions or participate in discussions online to see what kinds of answers I’ll get. Sometimes, I participate to get a better idea of just how many people are paying attention.

Some years ago, I wrote a piece about a vivid memory I had regarding Mother’s Day. Try as I might, I could not find it today when I was searching for it. I couldn’t even recall where I had written it. Was it a blog post? An unpublished story? An entry in an old journal?…
