Shama suggested that maybe if that table weren’t there I’d just throw it away immediately instead of letting it accumulate.  It seemed like a good idea, so we moved the table into the dining room.

Unfortunately, further testing disproved her theory:

pile1

A few weeks later she suggested that “maybe we should move your pile table back”

pile2

Aaaahhhhh.

Somehow I got on a mailing list for retirees:  AARP sends me membership cards, charities ask me to consider my legacy, and this week I was informed how men my age sometimes have difficulty urinating.  

I’m like some sort of time traveler getting a sneak peek at my junk mail from 30 years in the future.  (Will there even be junk mail 30 years from now?)
