If you reschedule something, you mark it as rescheduled, and the original appointment stays put (marked as rescheduled). And so on. That kind of history can be very important, and so we keep track of it all electronically. <br /><br />Of course, we could probably bypass that if we really wanted to, but then we'd lose the history.Disgusted Beyond Beliefhttp://www.disgustedbeyondbelief.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20417751.post-71994463143980604642009-08-16T23:40:31.831-07:002009-08-16T23:40:31.831-07:00I have a spiral-bound address book which dates bac...I have a spiral-bound address book which dates back to 1968 if not earlier. Some pages are an absolute mess, but the history is fun to peruse once in a while.Linkmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576347754628145004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20417751.post-77875616574790551532009-08-16T20:28:18.676-07:002009-08-16T20:28:18.676-07:00I do keep travel diaries.

I also keep a personal diary for the stuff that's too private to put into a blog (yes, there's a lot).hederahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696592301686568456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20417751.post-55402916515192086162009-08-16T20:15:57.670-07:002009-08-16T20:15:57.670-07:00One really neat form of literature is the travel d...One really neat form of literature is the travel diary.<br /><br />Frontier wives kept them, recording wagon-train journeys across the plains. Rich wives kept them on long ocean voyages, and when they did their "Grand Tour" on the Continent.<br /><br />I thought keeping a diary would be a very cool thing when I was an undergraduate at Berkeley, but for some reason I had trouble recording dry fact, and instead speculated on intellectual things. Needless to say, it made turgid reading after just a few months. I think I have that diary somewhere, but it's of no value because it doesn't tell me what I was actually doing at the time. <br /><br />Keeping little appointment books and diaries is like a resolution I keep failing to live up to.Curtis Favillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213075853354387634noreply@blogger.com
