They get messed up with mundane lists and junk but are real useful for jotting down brainstorm ideas, otherwise I never remember them.<br /><br />I just read Ken Follett's fictional account of WWI "Fall of Giants", where he weaved real historical characters and events within the his storyline, and it has gotten me interested in 20th century history. I suppose to figure out how we got to where we are now. I found Galbraith's book in a used book store($4.95) and it seemed to be the logical next step as does Amity Shales' book.JR Snyder Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825473115986190389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421367977598373300.post-38819689430263026352010-12-14T21:09:03.822-07:002010-12-14T21:09:03.822-07:00This is good advice.

I don't generally make lists but I think I should start doing so, because when I've stumbled upon the few I've made it's been enlightening...although actually I make a lot of lists at work (mostly part numbers and sizes, bend allowances, blank sizes) and they are indispensable there. Which I guess proves your point. Now to carry it over to the "non-work" world.<br /><br />A total aside: I read Galbraith's book back in the late '90s. It was a beat copy from the library and I don't remember much from it but I only mention it to say that even in the high-flying internet bubble I was not normal.<br /><br /><br />I ramble.
