Yesterday Becky noticed a cluster of paper scraps that I had taped to the front of our kitchen cabinets. "What's all this stuff?" she asked. "What does 'Rearview Mirror' and 'In Case of Emergency' mean?"
"Oh," I said, "those are some articles, essays or humor ideas I am hoping to work on."
"How do you remember what your notes mean . . . and more importantly, why do you have to stick them here on the cabinets?"
"Well," I admitted, "I don't always remember what my notes mean. Some of the ideas come to me in the middle of the night and sometimes I write down an idea while I'm driving or mowing. And as to the reason why I stick the notes on the cabinets . . . it's because I want to."
End of story.
Or, perhaps the beginning.
