walkitoutSince I've been awful cranky lately, I've decided I should do a little reality checking of myself.
Maybe I'm the only person who grew up complaining to her father that his "five years ago" had
to be at least 10 and probably more like 20 years ago, when he was repeating a hoary old chestnut
for about the millionth time. So when I say history, think, any statement made about a past
event, whether it's in a fish story, or an essay about technology.
