Like many people, I jot down lots of notes throughout the day. In my case, I use Post-Its, which are stuck in a row right in front of my computer keyboard.

I was cleaning them off, and I realized that they were just scraps of thoughts. Here today, gone tomorrow. In many cases, I don’t even remember what the note was supposed to mean. I wrote it down long enough to do something with it.

Here are some of the things I found important enough to write down:

• Smokey Bones
• 8/1980
• BCC everyone
• 4/3/06 79.12
• in ETJ of Pflugerville
• 6am-4pm
• $20 pig
• R Lexington

I know what some of these mean. Others I don’t.
