Technicolor is a distant second to my vivid memories. Like the first time I saw my wife, the births of my children, building a snow jeep with my son… And then there are the bad memories. Like being on a heavy dose of steroids and oxycodone for over a month before I could get a cortisone shot in my lower back (roid rage is real!).
My first bike was a big, heavy Schwinn. I had to wheel it to the front steps so I could actually get on it. But my favorite bike was one of those high-handlebar, Banana-Seat Spyders…
I hope I haven’t post this already this week: “You only remember the losses.” – John Madden “You only remember the regrets.” – Early 20th Cent bicycle racer. Breeze Labonte.
My dad saved up for a while to buy my 10 year old self, a 7 speed bike. I disassembled it within a month because I wanted to see how the rear axle worked.
Not really funny. My hubby just died after at least 10 years of dementia. He used to tell me time after time the same old stories from long ago, but he couldn’t remember what happened yesterday.

Too bad you can’t program the coffee to help you remember only the pleasant things!

Some memories are best left in the past.

I can already remember far too many of those incidents without any help.

It would have been better if he stayed with their wedding night. Although falling with the bike is high school does not bode well………..

Sounds more like a bad hallucinogen trip than “memory enhancement”.
