It went on duck hunts, deer hunts, dove hunts and surf fishing trips. It went on dates with girls. It stayed up late with me in good and bad times. It woke early and saw many a rising sun 16 feet up in a tree or from the back seat of someone else's vehicle. It is retired now, living under lock and key. I suppose one day it shall serve to educate my children, if they care to know that much truth, of all the sins I committed and of the loves I lost and found and of the laughter that so frequently defined my early years. I opened the Log recently searching for memories. Searching for inspiration for this Musing, I suppose. Looking maybe for who I was back then and juxtaposing it with who I am. ere I found my mother. My original Mom; the one who parented us boys every day. I found her in her flowing handwriting. For most of her life, she used a fountain pen – the kind where you would load in a plastic vial of ink – the kind where you had to hold the tip of the pen in a certain position to effect the continuous staining of the paper. Mom had the technique down. Her cursive is expanded and rounded and unique. I can spot her handwriting from a long ways away. It is undated and I have no notes to myself as to when she sent it. It is filed in the Log between when Molly Garber was born in 1990 and the opening day of deer season in 1991. e two pages are unfolded, inferring that she either delivered it or sent it in a large envelope. In the fog of the years, I see dimly that she sent it while I was on Maui in 1985 and I stuck in something to save, finding it later and formally Logging it. at chronology is unsubstantiated though.
