"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))

Las Vegas, Nevada


Well, here I am on day three of my Las Vegas trip. I'm here for a client convention, and am staying at the not-so-fabulous Las Vegas Hilton (you can learn all about this property at www.lvhilton.com). Tonight I had a ticket with my group for a Barry Manilow concert. Yes, he's still alive. But I ditched the concert anyway.

As far as Las Vegas, I miss Phoenix. Flying back tomorrow evening.
