a bit too detailed.....

ok, so.....on npr on my way to pick up child #3 i heard all about a fellow who was so obsessed with recording his life in detail that he typed it out in 10 minute increments......he left all 91 volumes of his diary to a college near his home...to be kept sealed until 50 years after his death (recently, it would seem)...but npr had covered his story back in the 90's, when he was in his 70's...and he read from his day......which included the outdoor temp, the indoor temp: including the temp near the floor, by the window, and by the door jam in the room where he types.....he does not read what he has typed later on, because he'd just have to turn around and record that he read what he typed.......puts this blog to shame...because i go to great lengths to leave out.....
