Okay, so I've only started reading this month's book but it got me thinking about autobiographies for some reason. I guess it's because she mentions them in the first page or 2, but I was thinking maybe it would be a good idea to write one. Just to keep, not to publish, of course. The content will not be interesting enough for the average Joe, but maybe my future children or grandchildren will find it somewhat interesting how we lived back here in the "stone age."
I would start now, and lay it out in parts. Part 1 would be as far back as I can remember through graduating collage. Then Part 2 could be life after collage through my childrens' graduations from whatever, then Part 3 could be life again without kids and retirement. :) See, I figure I can remember more about my past if I start now, then, add to it as my life progresses, so it's more like me at that time and not an old kook looking back at life. So, I guess it would be a diary of sorts, but no daily entries. It would have stages-of-life entries, the 3 parts.
I don't know, is this dumb? Would my future family even care? I do wish I knew more about my family, so I'm hoping my opinion passes through my bloodline. :)

I think that's a great idea! I am certain your family would want to read it. Especially your grandchildren and great grandchildren. Wouldn't you love to have known our grandparents better? You couldn't edit for content though..it would have to include even the bad stuff and things you don't like to admit :). I might steal that idea! lol
