It's a really fragmentary memory. And at this point, it's a memory of a memory - like remembering secondhand. A part of my brain which says "yes, you really did remember this." Here it is: I am a disembodied someone and I'm hanging in deep featureless space. Space is brown. I describe a long backwards S-curve through space-is-brown. Discontinuity, then I emerge into a bright blurry place, all green, blue and white. Strictly a visual/kinesthetic fragment; no sound or other sensory content. It fits: I was born from a breech position. Note the sense of time compression. Subjectively my passage took five seconds or so. In realtime this was at least an hour in the birth canal. My next reliable memory is about a year later, in a stroller in downtown DC when they had the rockets outdoors. Earlier stuff (like my life as a perennially destitute minor mystic in Katmandu) I'd have to invent.

*** ATTENTION ALL RAMBIPHILES...er, RAMBOIDS...uh, RAMBITES! It has come to my attention that the season calls for a personal greeting, delivered as warmly as executively possible. Thus it is with a great deal of pleasure that I wish you all as wonderful a Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwaanza/Orthodox Christmas/other (check that which applies to your personal situation and/or beliefs), as well as an outstandingly productive and personally satisfying New Year.
