There's a new channel on our DirecTV which plays many of our favorite television shows from the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's. It's called "The Hub" and it's gaining popularity in our household. One such program in the rotation is Doogie Howser, M.D. Do you remember that show? The main character was a teen-aged genius who happened to be a doctor.
As I was sitting at the keyboard, wondering what to write, the familiar scene at the end of each episode appeared on the television screen next to my desk. Doogie always expressed his insights, or the moral to the story in digital format on his computer. It was in an archaic DOS-based format that was period-correct, although it looks silly today.
His journal entries were always faithfully produced each day, no matter what. Sometimes the content was lengthy and insightful, while other times, a simple phrase would do. I think logging our own life experiences works in this way, too.
Good Night
