Fishing Logs - Do You Keep One?

I keep a log, more to remember my trips and whom I fish with and the extraneous stuff that happens than to actually pattern fish...I remember fish and spots and patterns pretty well without the aide of a log. However, log entries like these...

"Drove to tarpon h-ole #26.c. Found a twitching homeless black man in the road. Waited for the fire truck to rescue him. Homeowner assured us that this was not a bad area of town."

"F2W stuck in mangrove branches. Did not think he would get out. Left him for gatorbait. Unfortunately he lived."

"Watched a snook pop a redwing blackbird sitting on a branch. The bird survived."

"TS Alberto tried to ruin the trip, but the bonefish kept tailing through 25 knots."

...bring a smile every time I look at the book.

I have been wanting to start keeping a log, what all information do you think it should contain that it would make it useful with out over recording: I would like to keep it simple.

Tides
Time spent fishing
Location
Water Depth
Solunar
Barometer
Temperature Air/Water
