Smarter than I look

I really ought to trust myself to have taken good notes. Too often I will read something confusing in the textbook, then waste half an hour trying to figure out what the dickens is different about, say, an attestation clause and a self-proving affidavit. Eventually I'll give up, frustrated, and move along to something else, where I discover that all along I've had the difference clearly stated in my notes.
