- Have you considered purchasing for yourself a waterproof
- tape recorder, or at least one that's moisture resistant so you can
- leave it on the bathroom countertop? I'll affix a smiley, but its
- a potentially serious suggestion. :-)
- Actually having a pocket tape recoder is good for all sorts
- of similar situations.

- When I get a musical idea while tooling away at the keyboard,
- as often as not I forget it by the next time if it isn't recorded. Its
- the same with my writing ideas, although until now I haven't thought about
- the solution.
