Write About Your Earliest Memory

Write about your earliest memory.

I was visiting Hamilton City Hall the other day when I was reminded of one of the last times I was there. It was one of my earliest memories.

Hamilton City Hall from Wikipedia.org

I was about 4 years old and my brother was 2 when my mother brought us to City Hall to visit my father where he was working at the time. My mother had also worked there, so she knew a number of the people around. We were waiting for the elevator when my brother ran off in one direction and my mother went after him. The elevator arrived and of course, I got on… alone. I remember turning around and watching the doors closing with my mother running to the elevator now to catch me. I looked at one door and then the other, much like a fast tennis match. I ended up on the top floor which was the cafeteria and two women found me and asked if I was lost. I told them my father’s name but didn’t know where to find him. In a short time I was back with my family safe and sound.

Here are some serious lines seen at Buckingham Palace in London, England during my trip there in 2003.

My poor computer. When I bought it 10 years ago, it was called the “Goddess Box”. It’s on its last legs now, but it’s still running.

UPDATE: The computer is now on life support. The hard drive fail is imminent and we have to buy a new one. It did actually last 10 years and it’s had a good life.

This has always been one of my favourite photos. Loved the shadow that it cast on the tiles.

This was taken in the Beaches in Toronto on a spring day. The path has been worn down by those who have tread the path of the labyrinth. Thanks Himy for drawing it out.

While on exchange in Paris, we visited Versailles and the lunches that were packed for us were huge! This was the result.

Oddly enough, I’m working my way through “Numb3rs” when I found this. I’ve been looking for it for a while, but here is the Fibonacci sequence (which was just mentioned in the episode I’m watching). It was taken at Beaubourg, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, France during my exchange there in October of 1992. I was the only one in the group who actually knew what it was before they announced it. Thanks Dad.

The sequence begins 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21… You’ll have to look up the rest.
