Memories of Michael: Journal Entry About Mike’s Baby Book (1989)
I am a visual person, so a lot of my memories are triggered by visual images. Journal entries provide another way to access memory, perhaps at a deeper level.
Journal Entry About Mike’s Baby Book (1989) Memories of Michael
Hi Adelaide,
Not sure what you mean. The image is a photo of one of my journal entry from years ago. The grayed-out words are not meant to be read. The all-over-the-place words you refer to are probably due to my handwriting. I probably should have made the image bigger. Sorry you’re having trouble with this post.
So there were a lot of blue text blocks or words that I recognised as being from the post
and they were all over the WordPress file – or at least OUTSIDE the image.
I accept the reason for the blocked-out words which were not meant to be read [but still could be read by a determined person!]
All the “blue words” were like separate links and they were clickable and resolved to the image [or did NOT resolve].
Perhaps it was a cranky thing between my server and the file or the way WordPress saved these particular layers.
I suspect, in fact, it was the layers.
I CAN read your handwriting and I DID.
Making images bigger has its own problems especially when it comes to the margins.
When I move to the Pinterest icon, this is when the spread-out blue words turn up.
They are literally everywhere – words like “Wichael” and “hawtieler” and “sometting” and “focussengs” and “infantego” and “segneficance”. And “duceferie”.
When I mouse over separate “words” or word forms they are NOT clickable like I had seen yesterday.
Words like “laughing” do HIGHLIGHT.
And it COULD BE how your HANDWRITING was read by the device [ie as graphic or as text].
And it is possibly/probably/definitely on my end.
Also the words appear to be stretched thinly.
Some of them – like “attention” – are diagonal…
Maybe I will send you a screenshot of what is happening or even a video of the steps.

Hi Adelaide,
Can’t imagine how my simple jpg could be viewed as you described. Could be some whacky things going on with your system.

Hi Jack:
the words are all over the place – the ones in the blue font.
That was OCR in those days [1989] – or was it a filing of the present?
Also there are things which are blocked or greyed out.
[and it appears it only happens if people click on the images to embiggen them – I would not be able to see the right-hand page so easily]…
