semester, so I came into break pretty stressed about my work project situation. + +I drove to Iowa City on Saturday, 2018-12-22, and returned to Madison on Thursday 2018-12-27. +As usual, I enjoy the three hour drive each way---an opportunity to listen to music and podcasts. + +My parents have been busy remodeling their basement, and have been getting rid of a bunch of stuff along the way. +I'm glad that they are continuing to downsize, but I worry about starting to work hardcore on the basement when the Barn project (welding machine carriages, wood working space) does not seem to be moving forward. +I worry in general about my parents, and my relationship with them. +I did manage to help David with a lighting project in his new electronics bench area. +He has added some shelves, and his area is coming along nicely. + +On Sunday 2018-12-23 I went with Nancy to Zion, my ``home church''. +I haven't been to Zion for years, perhaps since starting Bates? +It was pretty awkward to attend---a lot of people recognized me and I had awkward interactions with people that I really do not remember. +Still, I'm glad I went and I think I will try to continue attending when I am in Iowa City. +Zion is a frighteningly liberal church (discussions on microaggressions, LGBT issues), so I think I'm not really being realistic by staying away on moral grounds. + +For Christmas presents I gave Nancy a smart phone (Pixel 3) and a dock for her laptop. +I gave David a set of small ESD-safe bits and associated driver (Whia brand), and a label-maker. +All of these family gifts went over

currently thinking of as a ``book of memories''. +I've been ruminating on this project for about a year now. +It's probably prudent to write down my thoughts at the beginning of this hopefully life-long project---if nothing else they will serve as a funny reminder of just how much the project has changed in scope and intent. +My idea is to create a document that really does contain most everything that I want to remember about my own life. +I'm old enough now that I am already forgetting almost everything about my own childhood. +A lot of my friends' memories, and a lot of my own, have been locked up in various social media platforms that are bound to fail (or worse, succeed---social media is terrible and I hope it dies). + +In one sense, I feel like this project is an exercise in narcissism. +Do I really believe that my life is special enough to warrant a whole hand-made book? +Well, no---I don't believe that my life is special, extraordinary, or even particularly remarkable. +And I'm not necessarily writing this book for anyone except myself. +I want to have a more complete and accurate perception of my own past, and that goal alone is sufficiently motivating as I undertake this project. +I may want to share this book with friends and family in the future, but right now that is not a goal. + +I'm also thinking about sentimentality. +I currently perceive myself to be overly sentimental---I hold on to random objects and obsess about random memories far too much. +I'm thoroughly fed up with this. +I am fed up with having too much stuff---physical items that clutter my environment and weigh me down. +And I am fed up with being paralyzed by my perception of past transgressions and successes. +So this project is also a kind of token against my sentimentality. +I intend to focus my obsession with my own past into creating an ever more complete and accurate description here. +Practically, this book will force me to choose a small subset of pictures and stories that actually matter---and once I collect them here I don't need to worry about keeping them organized in other places. + +Hopefully moving forward I can write this book in semi-real time. +Obviously the big undertaking is in organizing the past. +I hope to not obsess about that. +I don't plan to have any reservations about the quality of the writing here. +To the extent that I have time, I can edit, cut, add etc to any section---I'm not going to treat writing that happened in that moment as sacred if I think that I can do a better job. + +Wish me luck, future reader.
