"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

Move-in day for Paul Jr. at ASU




He's residing in Palo Verde Main. We had an incredibly easy time going through the paces (retrieving keys at Wells Fargo Arena, buying season football tickets, moving refrigerator into dorm, picking up student ID at Memorial Union (see separate photo), picking up ASU t-shirt, picking up books, etc.) The process seemed better organized than prior years, or maybe we're just used to it after doing this five times (starting with Nicole in fall 1999). PJ even showed us to a fine lunch at the College Deli. In a few days: moving Patrick into U of A for sophomore year!
