All Events

People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion
Albert Einstein
1903
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: xii
Henry (age unknown) arrives in Oak Park, Illinois, throws up on wooden sidewalk
Henry tells Clare that he has travelled approximately 50 years in each direction. The 1903 date would then seem to be the earliest date he has visited as it is 80 years in the past. At the time Henry tells Clare this, he has not yet travelled to see Clare when she is 82, however that would be about 50 years in his future. Other than that trip we do not hear of any trips that far in the future, the visit to Alba when she is 10 is the furthest.
1950's

Henry (age unknown) arrives on fine autumn day, throws up on tennis court.
 
Early 1950's
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: 354
Henry 7 from 1970 or 1971 arrives sees Kimy's daughter Min in back yard.
We know Kimy's daughter dies in 1956 at the age of 7 so it was before this.
 
Unknown

Henry 38 from September 5 2001 arrives having disappeared during Clare's labor, visits old school
Henry tells us of many trips to his own past. He sees his parents and himself at various ages, his mother pregnant with him, his parents pushing him in a stroller and so on. We are not given any details, though. His exact age as a child, from when he is travelling, nor his age.
 
Unknown
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: 195
Henry 28 from December 24 1991 arrives in an elementary school having disappeared from church.
Henry disappears from the church during the Christmas service and arrives here. After a few minutes he disappears and travels forward to December 28 1991 and appears in his own apartment.
Early 1963
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: 109
Henry (age unknown) arrives and sees his mother, pregnant with him.
Sunday, June 16, 1963
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: 22
Henry is born.
We are told that Sunday, June 16, 1968 is Henry's fifth birthday.
 
October 2 1966
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: 326
Henry 32 from April 13 1996 arrives, sits in tree and decides he wants a baby.
The book states that Henry is 33, but this must be incorrect. See April 1996 for more.
 
June 16, 1968
Henry: 5 Clare: - Alba: - Page: 22
Henry makes first trip, travels to Field Museum and meets Henry 24 from January 2 1988.
We are told this is the same day as Henry's real-time trip to museum, but there is no proof of that. That Henry's first time travelling occurred for him on the same day as his birthday trip to the museum we know. However, young Henry hears from older Henry that the meeting takes place on the same day. Older Henry has the memory that it was the same day, but is this only because older Henry had told him that? It is possible that they both travelled to another day.
December 24, 1969
Henry: 6 Clare: - Alba: - Page: 113
The car crash. Henry's second trip. His mother dies.
He travels from the car to somewhere else and back to the side of the road but we don't know where he goes nor for how long.
 
December 24, 1969
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: 231
Henry 28 from around Thanksgiving 1991 arrives, sees mother's death.
We hear from Henry that he travels back to this scene many, many times. In at least one instance he interacts with his 6 year old self, meeting him on the side of the road and wrapping him in a blanket. However, other than the incident above, we do not know from when Henry travels. It would appear, though, that this is a fairly regular trip for him throughout his life.
 
June 1970 - June 1971
Henry: 7 Clare: - Alba: - Page: 354
Henry travels back to the early 50's (before 1956) and sees Kimy's daughter Min in back yard.

June 1971 - June 1972
Henry: 8 Clare: - Alba: - Page: 317
Henry makes Ovaltine for Henry 33 who arrives from April 7 1996.

Henry 31 from June 9 1995 arrives in Muncie Indiana.
June 7 1973
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: 48
Henry 9 from June 13 1973 (next Wednesday) arrives and meets Henry 27 who arrives from June - December 1990, pickpocket lessons.
June 13 1973
Henry: 9 Clare: - Alba: - Page: 48
Henry travels back to June 7 1973, meets Henry 27 from June - December 1990, is given pickpocket lessons.
1976
Henry: 13 Clare: - Alba: - Page: 56
Henry sees girl at skating rink killed by a flying puck.
1976 is a guess. When the two Henry's both 15 are talking about it on December 10, 1978, younger Henry says it occurred "a couple of years ago".
1976
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: 56
Henry less than 15 arrives, returns to skating rink and tries to save girl. Fails.
1976 - December 1978
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: 56
Henry travels back to skating rink and tries to save girl killed by puck. Fails.
This has to occur between the actual event and December 1978 when the two Henry's discuss it.
June 13 1976
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: 276
Henry 30 from October 23 1993 arrives at his Dad's apartment after disappearing from wedding.
1976, summer, after June 16
Henry: 13 Clare: - Alba: - Page: ix
Henry older than 28 arrives, watches Henry 13 mowing his grandparents lawn.
Henry says he is sitting in bed with Clare dozing beside him when he makes this trip so he is coming from after October 26 1991 and is at least 28. It must be after June 16 as young Henry is 13.
Also, although he sees younger Henry, they do not interact at all.
September 23 1977
Henry: - Clare: 6 Alba: - Page: 35
Clare meets Henry 36 from February 9 2000 for first time.
September 29 1977
Henry: - Clare: 6 Alba: - Page: 42
Clare's second meeting with Henry 36 from March 27 2000.
The book states that Henry is 35, but he clearly tells Clare he is from March 27 2000 at which time he is 36. In fact, this is only six weeks after his trip back to the first meeting with Clare, which for him occurs on February 9 2000.
October 16 1977
Henry: - Clare: 6 Alba: - Page: 47
Clare's third visit from Henry (age unknown). Henry dictates the list of visitations.
When Henry visits Clare for her second visit from him, she asks when he will be back. He said "October 16". Interestingly he also said that "it's a Friday" but this is incorrect. October 16, 1977 was a Sunday.

He also told her to bring her diary, so we can assume that on this trip he dictates the dates to her.
October 1977 - May 1978
Henry: - Clare: 6 Alba: - Page: 418
Clare draws picture of duck for Henry 41 from January 2005.
When Henry visits Clare on her 18th birthday he's coming from February 2 2005 and he tells her "two weeks ago you were 6 and drew me a picture of a duck". It is possible that this visit occurred on the same trip where Henry dictated dates into the diary. All we know is it occurred on or after the diary visit and before Clare turns 7 on May 24, 1978.
December 10 1978
Henry: 15 Clare: - Alba: - Page: 55

Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: 529
Henry 42 from June 2005 - 2006 arrives and Alba 10 from November 2011 - September 2012 arrives. They visit on beach.
We know that Alba is 10. This also must be after she sees Henry at the museum in November of 2011 as she doesn't mention this visit to him.
May 1981 - Fall 1981
Henry: - Clare: 10 Alba: - Page: 8
Clare is visited by Henry 30 - 32
Clare thinks this is future Henry's first visit to the Meadow. He keeps saying "Oh god" and seems bothered by his nudity. He arrives from March 1994 to July 1995. See March 1994 for details.
August 6 1981
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: xii
Henry older than 30 arrives in Motel 6 in Athens Ohio. Ends up in the hospital.
We know Henry travels back to his "very worried wife" so he must be older than 30.

When she is in meadow thinking about Henry on June 27 she says his next visit is 22 days away.
September 23 1984
Henry: - Clare: 13 Alba: - Page: 72
Clare discusses free will with Henry 35 from June 1998 to June 1999 in the meadow
In this conversation Clare's says that Henry had previously given her information about a baby with Down's Syndrome, obviously Kendrick's son. See April 6 1996 for more on this.
October 27 1984

Henry 43 from June 16 - September 25 2006 arrives and hears Henry 43 from January 1 2007 get shot.
He hears Henry cry and sees Clare as she runs out in response. They do not talk.
1985 - 1986
Henry: - Clare: - Alba: - Page: 190
Henry 40 from June 2003 - June 2004 arrives, sees Sharon outside the Reading Room.
We know this happens when Sharon is 12 or so and she is three years younger than Clare. We do not know if Henry sees Clare on this trip because by the time Sharon gets Mark to come down and see "the man", he is gone. Sharon says the he looked "about 40".

This brings up an interesting point. Henry states that he goes into the room and props a chair up against the door to prevent anyone coming in. What happens when he disappears? Is the door permanently blocked closed?

June 5 1987
Henry: - Clare: 16 Alba: - Page: 83
Clare drives to party with Henry 32 from June 1995 to June 1996
This is interesting. Henry says to Clare "technically, I'm your husband". We do not know exactly when Henry tells Clare that they will be married. She is 11 when the Ouija Board tells her this, and 12 when she tells Henry that she hoped he was married to her in the future. But we don't know when between 12 and 16 he actually tells her. However, one suspects that by the time he kisses her for the first time, when she is 15, he's already told her.

Clare photographs Henry older than 36 from after May 9 2000.
When Henry meets Gomez in the alley in 1991 Gomez mentions this photograph. Henry, who is coming from May 9 2000 and is 36, does not know about the photo so the Henry she photographs must be from after that date.

May 24 1989
Henry: - Clare: 18 Alba: - Page: 417
Clare's 18th birthday with Henry 41 from February 10 2005
This is Clare's last childhood visitation from Henry.

As we can see, there were 20 some visits from Henry. These are the only ones we can tell for certain occurred. However, according to Clare's diary, Henry visited her 152 times. That means there are over 130 visits that are not recorded.

Also note that between September 23 1977 and May 24 1989 there are 4,262 days meaning that Henry visited her on average every 28 days or, approximately, once a month from age 6 to age 18.

Henry tells Clare to take her diary with her when she first meets him in real-time [Page 7].
April 14 1990
Henry: - Clare: 18 Alba: - Page: 433
Clare wakes up with Gomez
April 27 1990
Henry: 26 Clare: - Alba: - Page: 437
Gomez approaches Henry and Ingrid.
Weird Gomez moment #1.

Before he meets her in real-time, Henry hears Gomez say "Clare says hi!". He realizes that his future is creeping up on him and wonders who Clare might be. But when he meets her 18 months later and realizes that she knows his future self - and her name is Clare - he does not recall this incident.

This is unusual because, as Henry says later, he loves it when little inexplicable things fall into place.
June 1990 - December 1990
Henry: 27 Clare: - Alba: - Page: 437
Henry travels back to June 7 1973, meets Henry 9 from June 13 1973 and teaches him to pick pockets

October 26 1991
Henry: 28 Clare: 20 Alba: - Page: 4
Henry meets Clare, in real-time.
Henry says that he has never met someone from his future before, meaning he's never met anyone in real-time who, in their past, met a future version of himself. Obviously Henry himself has seen his future self many times. When Henry meets Alba for the first time, she has seen his future self in her past, but this does not occur for him in real-time, Henry travels to the future. Other than this meeting with Clare, there are no other examples of this type of encounter.
After October 26, 1991
Henry: ? Clare: - Alba: - Page: ix
Henry travels back to 1976, watches 13-year-old self mow his Grandparent's lawn.
All we know is that Henry is with Clare when he makes this trip back. It could be any time between when he meets Clare and his death in 2007.

Henry and Clare talk about drugs for his condition
This is interesting as there is nothing mentioned between June 10 1992 and September 5 1993. 15 months with nothing.

Also, Henry proposes in May of 1992 but they don't get married until October 1993. Why the 18 month engagement? As this is the first we hear is about Henry taking drugs we might assume that he has been travelling a lot, but we don't hear any details.

Clare waiting for Henry to tell her he has traveled back to see her as child, it hasn't happened yet.
In March 1994 Clare states that Henry has not yet travelled back to see her as a child. We know that Clare's recollection is that Henry's first trip back was when she was 10. He kept saying "Oh god" and was bothered by his nudity.

We know that when Henry is 32 he travels back to 1987 and goes to the party with Clare 16. This incident could have been as early as June 16, 1995 when Henry turned 32. We know that on July 12 1995 Henry travels back to 1987 to help Clare 16 get revenge on Jason. We know that neither of these were Henry's first trip back to see Clare.

In fact, on both these trips, Henry is pretty composed. It would appear that he is now comfortable popping in at odd times in Clare's childhood. Therefore the first trip back was probably quite a while earlier.

It is disappointing and odd that we do not hear of this first trip for Henry. Obviously for him its a big deal as Clare fell in love with him because of the childhood meetings that he has yet to experience. For Clare, she and Henry now have real-time shared memories, but most of her shared memories with Henry are from her childhood and real-time Henry does not share them yet. This is why Clare is waiting for Henry to tell her he has begun returning to their past. Given the importance of this event, its surprising that we do not hear about it.

This could have happened any time between October 1991 when Henry first meets Clare and May 18 1994 when he tells Clare that he's seen their house in the future.

As Clare is in the workshop, this had to be after they moved in when she was 23

This is not Henry's first trip to Clare's childhood, that would be the trip when she was 10. However, this is the first trip to Clare's childhood that we hear of.
July 12 1995
Henry: 32 Clare: - Alba: - Page: 92
Henry travels back to September 27 1987 helps Clare 16 get revenge on Jason.
This might possibly have occurred prior to the trip to back to the party. All we know of that trip is Henry was 32, It could have occurred between now and June of 1996.

Henry 8 from 1971-1972 arrives while Clare is visiting Kimy; Clare decides to have a baby
A very interesting statement here by Clare. She says she's never seen Henry travel to the future like this. That means that every Henry she has ever been visited by is from the future.

First appointment with Dr. Kendrick
April 6 1996
Henry: 32 Clare: 24 Alba: - Page: 313
Kendrick calls Henry after his son is born
Several interesting things here. Henry tells Kendrick that he knew about his son because he saw the birth certificate, in 1999. That would mean that sometime before this date, Henry travelled forward to 1999 and saw the certificate.

However, when Henry was visiting Clare and discussing free will, she mentions that Henry had written down information about a baby with Down's syndrome that she was supposed give this to him in 1991, one would assume right after they met in real-time. Henry was 35 in that conversation.
So, Henry younger then 35 had the information. If he needed to get that information to himself before he met Kendrick, why would he give it to Clare before 1984 and not to another version of himself?

Also, Henry was always very vague about when he and Clare would meet in real-time, yet this would seem to indicate that since before she was 13 Clare knew she would have met Henry by or in 1991. All of this seems a bit weird.

The book states that Henry is 33 when he makes the decision to have a baby. However, by the time Henry is 33 Clare has already been pregnant and had her first miscarriage. It would make no sense for Henry at that point to make this decision. He must have made this decision before Clare gets pregnant in April of 1996. At that time Henry is 32 not 33.

During their conversation Clare asks Henry if she ever sees two of him. He says yes, and thinks to himself that it happens far more than he would like.

We know of the meeting at the Violent Femmes concert, of the Henry-full-of-glass-in-the-kitchen episode and of Henry impregnating Clare while future Henry sleeps.

It would seem, from Henry's statement, that there are actually many more incidents than these, but we do not hear of them.

Henry travels back to September 23 1977 and visits Clare 6.
This is Clare's first meeting with Henry.

When Henry travels back to September 23 1977 for Clare's first meeting with him, it was not his first trip back to see Clare as a child.
Let's look at the visits to Clare's childhood that we know Henry 36 has already experienced before he travels back to Clare's first meeting with him.
  • 30/31 - The unknown first trip for Henry when Clare was 10
  • 32 - The party when Clare was 16
  • 32 - Revenge on Jason when Clare was 16
  • 35 - The free will discussion with Clare who was 13
  • 36 - The chess trip with Clare at 12
  • 36 - The sketch trip when Clare was 17

Possible meetings (Henry's age unknown):
  • The diary meeting when Clare is 6.
  • The bikini trip when Clare was 12 (Henry is less than 38)
  • The hiding clothes trip when Clare was 16

Henry travels back to September 29, 1977 and visits Clare 6.
This is Clare's second meeting with Henry.

In the book it states that Henry is 35, but he clearly tells Clare that he is from March 27 2000 and on this date Henry is 36 not 35.
May 9 2000
Henry: 36 Clare: - Alba: - Page: 137
Henry travels back to December 14 1991 sees Gomez in alley
Weird Gomez moment #2.

At this meeting Henry tells Gomez that he will be 38 when Clare first meets him.
This is not true, he will be 36. In fact, his trip back to Clare's first meeting with him occurred on February 9 2000 just 3 months ago in Henry's time.

If we look at it from Henry's timeline:
  • February 9th he travels back to Clare's first meeting with him
  • 6 weeks later on March 27th he travels back to Clare's second meeting with him
  • 6 weeks later on May 9th he claims that he will be 38 when Clare meets him.

It just does not make sense. Actually, these three trips are really messed up. The book states that on the second trip he is 35 but he is 36, and the third says that he is 38 and he is 36. As this first meeting is a hugely important event in the title character's life, its odd that it is reported incorrectly.

Given Henry's light-hearted attitude in this meeting it might even make sense for him when he travels back to 1991 to tell Gomez "Clare met me when she was six, just three months ago 9 years from now in 1977".

Another thing to note here is that, in this conversation, Gomez mentions a photograph Clare has of Henry from June 7 1988. In the photo, Henry looks older, about the way he looks here in 2000. By Henry's reaction we know that he does not yet know about the photo, which means that occurs in the future from him, but we do not know exactly when.
After having been with Clare for 9 years, why does Henry not know about this photograph?

Clare's first miscarriage was June 3 1996. Her second was October 12 1997.
This means between October 1997 and September 2000 she had 4 miscarriages, or one every 9 months and overall, six miscarriages in 4 years.

This is the last visit to Clare's childhood that we hear about.

Henry does travel back to Clare's childhood twice after this. The first to see himself get shot, and the second to get shot, but in neither case does he "visit" Clare although on the first they see each other and in the second she hears him cry out.

However, during this visit Clare tells Henry that they have agreed to make love on her 18th birthday. Henry here in 2005 is unaware of the conversation, it must occur at some point in the future for him. So, although this is the last we hear about, Henry must have made more trips back to Clare's childhood after this.
