It's the 'I-can-hear-clearly-now' File.
During the 50s to the 70s, I listened to lots of music on the radio. But the sound quality was really never that great.

Playing Hunches

After 'sleeping on a problem,' you may think of an excellent solution that now seems simple and logical.
And, if you're like me, you can't keep your important ideas (not to mention your calendar!)
