Can you stand on your head? asked the Chesire Cat...

The arrival of the Great Silver Trunk (GST) has made me make a few evaluations and decisions this week. First off, I have decided to keep everything in the trunk.. I took it all out -- discarded gross things like old smokes and voodoo candles (wonder if they worked) -- took note of what was there and then put it all back in. Someday -- someday I will open it again and review... It's like a time capsule.. perhaps disturbed a decade (or four) too early. I did, however, take out the JC Penney shopping bag with it's precious contents... Now that it has been exposed to year 2009 air quality-- I think some archival portfolioing is in store -- the plastic shopping bag is weary. Let's let it rest.

I have moved the GST up into my home office—which then required a bit of mandatory organizing via a reorganization. This has inspired me to tackle the rest of the house... The picture cabinet - the dining room (aka storage facility) - finish the "powder room"... take charge of the mud room. It isn't that we live in disorganized chaos - I just still have paper work on my dresser from Will's birth.... almost TWO YEARS AGO...The time has come, my little friends, to talk of other things...Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings...And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wigs—Calloo, Callay, come run away...With the cabbages and kings.
