Memory is much, much more unreliable than we all like to think. Pretty much every time someone tells an elaborate story about something that happened to them a long time ago, assume it’s going to be largely untrue.
Paul Bloom, Psychologist
Memory
Not Old
“You’re not old, you’re “chronologically gifted.”
Thank you to Terry Campbell, Pueblo Grande Museum (Ret) for this great observation.
Stay Up
“Don’t let aging get you down. It’s too hard to get back up.”
John Wagner
Masking during the Covidian era was important even for Inukshuk.
Anything Except
”To get back to my youth I would do anything in the world, except exercise, get up early, or be respectable.”
Oscar Wilde
I apologize again to the subscribers who get an email without a photo. The world changes and adapting takes time.
This month I’m featuring photos of Inukshuk I have built/created in the last few years.
This photo was taken in March 2020 BC (Before Covid) when I was still experimenting with multi-stone Inukshuk now I try to restrict myself to five stones. I think they are more elegant and create interesting challenges. You will see plenty of them if you look at SimonBurrow.com this month
Going Out
“I’m at that age where my back goes out more than I do.”
Phyllis Diller

Last Stop
“Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your retirement home.”
Phyllis Diller
A delicious umbrella drink in Hawaii.
What Happened
“Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.”
The Washington Monument in January 1968
Worth It
“The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.”
Will Rogers
American Humorist

Memories
“The older I get the more clearly I remember things that never happened.”
Mark Twain
Photo is of Brock S and I in 1959 on our bicycle trip around Lake Ontario. Why ask why?
Getting Up
“Don’t let aging get you down. It’s too hard to get back up.”
