37. And what's so damn horrible about a few notes?

I take notes all the time to remember a point, a choice turn of phrase, a quote, a wording of an issue that I liked and may want to use. All the time!!! Sometimes I feel like that’s all I do: take notes.

Taking notes is important! Especially if you’re at his level and you want to make rock-solid-sure you said or described something correctly. Because YOU’LL be held accountable for that point and taken to task for it, especially by reporters hungry for a “gotcha” moment they could later brag about or regale a crowd of dinner companions where they’re the featured speaker.
