My Life With Latro

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

So, someone important in my life is undergoing a medical treatment  
that, among its side effects, includes the inability to convert short- 
term memories to long-term.

(This, by the way, may go some way towards explaining, if not  
excusing, my current truculence, which Brunians correctly noted; my  
fuse is very short right now.)

It is *fascinating*.  It is also hard as hell to deal with day-to-day  
(in some ways harder than the person who can't remember anything), but  
once this phase of my life is over and normality has reasserted  
itself, I really look forward to re-reading the _Soldier_ books.
