While packing to leave, I came across one of the many tiny little notebooks I carry around in my purse to write down whatever thought, observation, eavesdropped quote or other notes that need immediate recording. Thought you guys might be interested in the ephemera of me processing the outside world. Also, I'd really like to put off packing for a little while longer and have been too busy to write real stuff for CI. Here are some of the little things I decided to jot down.
