—Joan Didion, “On Keeping a Notebook”
Today will be spent finding a new notebook, preferably leather bound, as I have started to write again in earnest and filled my old one down to the back binding. This is a good development.
“
I have already lost touch with a couple of people I used to be…It is a good idea, then, to keep in touch, and I suppose that keeping in touch is what notebooks are all about. And we are all on our own when it comes to keeping those lines open to ourselves: your notebook will never help me, nor mine you. “So what’s new in the whiskey business?” What could that possibly mean to you? To me it means a blonde in a Pucci bathing suit sitting with a couple of fat men by the pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
