"I wonder what I meant by that?" Dept.

As a past master of the undecipherable cryptic note to myself, I'm delighted to know that it doesn't only happen to me. According to Tim Grobaty's column in this morning's PT, it happens to people who actually get paid to string publishable words together. There would be many more posts in my assigned corner of cyberspace if I (a) had a better memory; (b) had more legible hand-writing; and/or (c) had less confidence that I would remember what I meant by the odd phrases that I jot down in my notebook. Sending e-mails to myself from my phone helps with (b) but not with (c).
