As I continue to throw stuff out I find things I don't want to throw away, but I don't know what to do with them.   There is no doubt that when I die these things will be thrown into a landfill.  They include things like my USAF commission (reserve and regular), stuff from my military past like a drivers license.   Lots of things I scan, some are too big for my scanner so I take them to FEDEX/Kinko and they scan them and mail them to me(or thumb drive).  I'm amazed at how these bring back hidden memories, some good, some just so, so.  

Las week I found an old day planner.  You know them - 5x8 with little pages with calendars, notes, names etc.   It is what I used since I usually couldn't have a PDA or similar electronic device in the places I worked.   Anyway, in this day planner I found some quotes that I'd been keeping.   I don't know what to do with them, so I'll just print/post them here for  future reference.

"The first report is always wrong."    Captain Jerome J. Burke Jr., USN

What I hear I forget
What I see I remember
What I do I understand


Beauty if fleeting
Charm is deceitful
Youth is forever

"It will be duly recorded in the otherwise dismal record of human existence!!"  Lord John Orphan aka Dr Emilio Lazardo, offering grudging congratulation to Buckaroo Banzai on breaking thru to the 8th Dimenson.

Now I can shred that page that I've held onto for at least 15 years.   whew
