i'm in the same boat. i haven't given 100% of my attention to conversation (and here i think i'm a good listener) so i have hole in my recollection of events. i have my list. But i haven't added on to it in over a year. Right now, it is a detterent because i get to the person i'm to recapitulate and i can't think of anything to recapitulate. So i skip around my life, taking back "important" moments. Sometimes i get inspired to recap a certain event. The other day, some old ladies sat in front of me and one smelled like tuna fish. Reminded me of a time when a cat came into my backyard with no collar, so i assumed it was a stray. So i fed him a can of tuna. Got back home and recapped that moment. How strange....Then other times, an event that i have recapped will pop into my head, as if i didn't get all the feelings back...
Such a monumental task recapitulating is...and yet, we are so inadequate...
