Digging into My Past

My latest downsizing project is attacking the boxes of paper in my basement. Ninety-five per-cent is pitched. The rest is filed by year. The process reminds me of parts of my life that I had almost forgotten (the reason for the 5 per-cent). I ran across folders about my early attempts at the four-color problem, programs in basic written for early micro-computers, flow charts for a billing process (I was a consultant), 8086 and 8087 manuals, and client notes from actuarial consulting. And I am just getting started.
