I use my blogs as commonplace books, storehouses of memorabilia. In this sense commonplace does not mean trite, but goes back to its Latin root, meaning a point with general application. Shephanim is a collection of commonplaces in the strict sense, while Sarregouset is more of a clearinghouse. I find each post worthy of remembering, and maybe you will too.
Women never see, whether for good or bad, more than one side of any question; and that is, always, the one which first presents itself to them.
—Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist
