Dated

The year before I completed college.

1971 draws a blank for the moment.

In 1967, I had a roommate who matriculated. She was finished with her studies a year ahead of me.

It’s a little game, silly, really, that I like to try. The universe hands me a date and I connect it to a memory.

The idea is not just to stay sharp but also to keep the timeline of my personal history fresh.

The latter has a way of slipping as time passes. It comes in handy, keeping a grip on who I am.
