"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))

ASU Nursing Student Makes Good




Tonight we attended the Fall Induction Ceremony for the Sigma Theta Tau International. Don’t know what the Greek represents, but this is an honor society for the nursing profession. And a big deal if you are selected. Our Patricia Joann was an inductee. They held a nice ceremony at the Fiesta Inn in Tempe. It was a good chance to meet some of her friends and instructors from the nursing program. Including Shelley (361-0341), who sat at table with us (us being Patricia, Paul Jr., Nedda, Chris and me). A fine evening all around. After, we moved Paul Jr. out of his dorm room for winter break. Patrick continues slaving away down at U of A for a couple more days. Info about the honor society is at www.sttibetaupsilon.org.
