Moleskine Notebook

While I interned at Marshall|Steele, my boss, Dr. David Steele, loved Moleskine notebooks. The moleskine has origins with van Gogh, Picasso, Hemingway, and Chatwin. I didn’t understand his obsession with jotting down his ideas in these leather bound notebooks until purchasing one that next semester when I returned to medical school. The notebooks are a perfect way to organize your thoughts on paper, fit perfectly in your coat pocket, have pocket for documents collected during the day, have a ribbon to mark most recent log, and look great on any office or library shelf. In my notebook, I take notes during medical school lectures, record patient logs, jot down my thoughts, record my painting ideas, and keep track of my ideas and obsessions. The notebooks are a little more expensive than the typical Mead spiral bound notebook we grew up with, but I like the idea of recording my thoughts in a notebook that will make a great addition to my library one day.  The quality of the notebook demands that I expect more out my thoughts, if they are to be included in the pages contained within the leather boundaries of the notebook. It's a companion to record life in. Simply awesome.
