If any of you know me you'll know that my memory stinks. If I don't write it down, I will have a tough time remembering that it was ever said or done. In fact, I carry a small pocket sized notebook and ball point pen in my pocket every day I work. Casual Friday is my most difficult day because some of the "casual" shirts I wear do not have a chest pocket. these are the days I forget a lot as well as misplace where I set my notebook. The other day I found one of these long lost notebooks. This notebook contained a list of all the books I read during the months of September, October, and November of 2006. At any rate, I wanted to put in writing all the books I read during the months of September through November of 2006.
September

It wasn't until a dear friend, a superb colleague, who finally convinced me that creating and maintaining a blog site is simple. He was right. Now I try to journal the texts I read so that even when my memory fails, this electronic notebook keeps my memories and thoughts alive.
Thanks my dear friend for the suggestion. I am deeply appreciative.
NO AR QUIZ. :(
