  I will re-read parts of them weekly. Currently its 15 years ago, five
years ago and one year ago.  
  Its interesting to see how something I noted in passing later became
important or something I thought was important later meant little. And how
something important was never recorded.  (This is usually some news event, 
etc).  
  And its interesting to see if I have evolved or devolved in various
personal areas.  How my thinking, if any, changed or not.
  Mae West once gave advice to a young woman saying, "Keep a diary, someday
it may keep you".  :)

  I have the hard copies in the closet, all in order by year, in spiral
bound note books like we used in school.  Since '01 they are three different
CD's, in case one fails I have a back up.  I don't want a repeat of 2000.
