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.

Have Space Suit - Will Travel (Robert A. Heinlein)

Read with Laura!

Quotes:

Money problems can always be solved by a man not frightened by them.

“There is no such thing as luck; there is only adequate or inadequate preparation to cope with a statistical universe.

I had sent in five thousand seven hundred and eighty-two slogans.
