"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))

Christmas photos (1990)
I have no reason to post these photos from 1990, other than that it is Christmas, and I do like the photos. And check out the video game that Chris has (Jordan v. Bird, I believe). Ages here were Nicole 9, Chris 8, Kerry 7, Patrick 4, Paul Jr. 3.
