I cleaned up my computer nest today and ended up with a pile of little pieces of paper. I jot down quotes, ideas, and craziness that inspire me, thinking I will turn the kernel of the idea into some full-blown blog post. Well, I need to toss the paper and I don't have the time to devote to hours of verbosity, so I'm posting them here in their raw form.

Ummmm, is that Baldwin quote old or new? Spotting "marble orchards" was the game my dad and I played every summer when we took the truck routes driving back east to visit relatives....that and finding all of the JC Pennys which were prolific in the early 50's. Thank you for the mention. I miss Angela.
The Angela quote was dated Dec 17, 2007. Yours has the same date. Some of these bits have a 2006 date on them. I don't throw anything away apparently.
Where is Hat these days, anyway? I still have her CD...sigh.
Haven't spoken to Hat in over a year. Email is bouncing and both cell and landline not working. When she decided to disappear, she did it in a big way. I miss her terribly. A big piece of my soul died when she said goodbye.
Oh I miss Hat too.
I loved all of your little notes...very cool.
Count me in with the group that misses the Hat - bit time. I was reading a comment she posted just yesterday and got a bit misty.
Love little postits.. maybe it should become a regular feature?
