28 years ago, I had a stack of blank IBM punch cards that I used for various notes. When my wife went into labor with our first child (just after midnight - ugh), I grabbed one and started writing down the times of the contractions. Every time she had a contraction, she would wake me up to tell me and I would write down the time. Several hours later when we went into the hospital, the nurse asked me how far apart the contractions were. I handed the card to her. She was impressed that I was that well organized.
Hey, they fit nicely in a shirt pocket.
