Richard Bach, born June 23, 1936, is an American writer, and also the author of my absolute favorite fiction novel, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah.  Presented here, in no particular order, are my favorite Richard Bach quotes. … If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were. - Richard Bach … If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem. - Richard Bach … Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after...

What song was stuck in your head recently, and what were you doing at the time that made you think of it?

My father always told me that the world would change dramatically as I grow older.  I never knew exactly what he was talking about until recently, as I look back on how things have changed since I was a student in high school.  Here is a lighthearted look at a handful of things that have changed dramatically since I was in high school.

Write about your first kiss. Was it everything you wished or hoped it would be?

The following is an overview of my personal note taking methods, based upon the situation, and more specifically, how long I will need the notes to last.  This system has evolved over the course of many years, and is presented here out of a combination of simplicity, scalability, and necessity. This list of methods explains the medium on which the notes themselves are recorded.  It all depends on exactly how long I need or expect the notes to be available, specifically, a very short time, such as Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries, or a long time, such as the duration of the rest...
