i set up my uw e-mail to work within outlook express since i know uw is going to cut back my storage capacity or get rid of it altogether. and as i was doing that, i had time to look through e-mails from the last four years and it's funny to discover that i've corresponded with many different, and often random, people. even better is that as i read through some of the e-mails, it triggered some good memories. this then caused me to think on how over the last couple of weeks, my memory has been triggered a lot, by a time of day and a certain amount of light in the nightsky, the way the air smells after the rain we've been having, the temperature outside. maybe it's the changing of the seasons, both weather-wise and life-wise.
