One of the hazards of advancing age is the temptation to repeat old stories, but the worst that can happen is to forget.

“Happy moments come and go, our friends die, everything is in the end destroyed, but this could be endured if only a purer and sharper reflection were kept. If there is anything that we save and hoard up it is our memories. All the substance of our life is in them.” (Brennan, 1975).
