Cherish all the good memories in your life, however few there may be. Nostalgia can be a refreshing source of happiness, and one that never grows old over time.

Test. Test. Test.
If Memo is working for me right now, then this should end up on-chain.

My last Monday Memo was about spending money only on food you plan to consume. Why? The answer is simple: efficiency. For this reason, I'll be dedicating a series of Monday Memos to making the most of what you have.
