I’ve never been a consistent writer-downer of things. I take plenty of notes where facts & figures matter, but since childhood, I’ve deluded myself about the abilities of my so-called mighty mind. I’m like at the hardware store, knowing full well that I’ll be back soon to obtain something I’ve forgotten already. I live by the list anymore. Grocery stores are the worst for entering unprepared and unreminded.
