Reading and rewriting my journals has enlightened me in two ways. First, I am much less intelligent than I was. Second, I am much more streetwise than I was.

But, when I read personal notes about ____ I look at it through the eyes of a revisionist historian, but also a stone cold sober witness to events I didn't understand as a boy-man.
