Welcome to my commonplace blog

The goal of this blog is to preserve a few ideas and quotes from books I read. In the old days when books were not so readily available, people kept "commonplace books" where they copied choice passages they wanted to be able to remember and perhaps reuse. The idea got picked up by V.F.D. and it's common knowledge that most of that organization's volunteers have kept commonplace books, and so have Laura and I.

I'm sure there are many other Internet sites and blogs dedicated to the same idea. But this one is mine. Feel free to look around and leave comments, but not spam.

President Barack Obama: The Kindle Singles Interview (Kindle Single) (David Blum)

There isn't much interesting here except for the quotes below.

Quotes:

One of the advantages we have is that we still have family members who are not only middle class, but we've got some family members who are poor. Malia and Sasha have cousins who know what it's like to struggle and know what it's like to have to scrape by

I enjoy teaching. I taught for 10 years. Not full-time, but part-time at the University of Chicago Law School. I could picture myself being a good teacher.
