A Most Unreliable Narrator Issue #85 Memories in the Moonlight

Weight: 315.8 Mood: Not manic at this moment I think about memories, history, and the passage of time a lot. Not because I turn 50 next year (Jesus Christ) but the jealousy of people who have this instant or near instant recall of an event that happened to them a month or ten years ago. Websites, newsletters, and social media are jammed of people talking about things of yore that they remember or comparing a contemporary thing with a vintage thing. “Oh, White Claw supposedly tastes of Zima – remember that?” Will go some sort dewy and bright eyed xenial as they hang out with their millennial friends. Zima was the stuff of GenXers, perhaps xenials are too young to remember but none-the-less, advertising has us believe if you compare the old with the new, you’ll hit two types of people to buy your product: the old and the new.
