Sending myself an email is my favorite "note to self" strategy, which made me curious to see what I've been emailing myself over the years. Below is a small selection. Most of these things are misspelled reminders to either buy or schedule something, but at least there are little things in there like "military history" or "ice cream stuff" to make me think I once led an interesting life (I have no idea what either thing is referring to, now.)
