Quotes I\u2019m pondering<\/strong>
\nYou aren\u2019t wealthy until you have something that money can\u2019t buy. \u2014 Garth Brooks<\/p>\n

A good book is more intelligent than its author. \u2014 Umberto Eco<\/p>\n

I think I speak for everyone when I say no one can speak for all of us. \u2014Glenn Fleishman<\/p>\n

The question isn\u2019t who is going to let me: it\u2019s who is going to stop me. \u2014 Ayn Rand<\/p>\n

No limit for better. \u2014 Harrison Ford<\/p>\n

Each of the above makes me pause, and that pause compels me to return to it. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Relive the 1980s personal computer revolution<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been watching\u00a0Halt and Catch Fire<\/a><\/i>\u00a0on Netflix, a TV series that ran for four seasons, from 2014 to 2017. It\u2019s like a non-comedic\u00a0Silicon Valley\u00a0<\/i>and is about a team of misfits (led by a guy who looks and acts like a psychotic Don Draper) who are trying to build a 15-pound portable computer during the PC computer revolution of the 1980s. Each season is better than the previous one. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

To-do notebook<\/strong>
\nI picked up this surprisingly inexpensive ($5.50) to-do list notebook last month, and I love it. The\u00a0Maruman Mnemosyne 197<\/a>\u00a0has ruled, perforated pages with two columns of checkboxes. The 80 sheets are ring bound and the cover is stiff, textured black plastic. The paper holds ink very well. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Distraction-free<\/strong>
\nI noticed I was compulsively reaching for my phone, so I decided I needed a detox. I was considering buying a flip phone and came across this\u00a0article on the distraction-free iPhone<\/a>. I couldn\u2019t go as far as disabling email (in case of an emergency), but I hid it and disabled Safari and all notifications except for phone calls. It\u2019s very freeing. Here are\u00a0more tips<\/a>. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Cheap packing cubes<\/strong>
\nOn our last trip my husband and I shared one large suitcase for a week. This\u00a04-piece set of packing cubes by Amazon Basics<\/a>\u00a0(I bought two sets) kept it from getting out of hand. Everything stayed organized and folded. I like that they\u2019re soft and not rigid, because they expand as you fill them up and saves space when you don\u2019t. The long, slim cube was perfect for my hair styling tools. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Damage-free hanging<\/strong>
\nI use these neat hooks from 3M when I want to hang something on a surface I don\u2019t want to damage, either a stucco wall, or a hotel room, or for a temporary hanging on a wood surface.\u00a0Command Hangers<\/a>\u00a0employ an innovative glue strip to hold and release. The strip will securely hold the hanger for as long as you like (difficult to pull off), but will remove itself entirely, and easily, without marks or damage to paint at the end using an ingenious particular physical pull. Hard to explain but it really works. I find they hold more than they specify. Command hooks come in all kinds of sizes, many styles. Reusable, too. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n
