Every once in a while, I'll open up one from 1991 and look at all the names and appointments and things that, at the time, seemed so important.

The only thing that stays behind is the work.” LooksImportantUsedNamesBehindsWonderFourStrangeMeetingsBunchWorriedDigitalCalendarsAppointments Author:Michael Bierut
