It doesn't seem to me that your memory is that different from mine. Which could be taken either way. I can't tell when things happened unless something else happened around the same time that anchors it for me. And names? Forgetaboutit!

I am sure I have read some of Asimov's work because he's so prolific, and because he created the standard for so many genres, especially Sci-fi.

Like your take on the prompt, and great to see you again!
