Funny Thing About Unpacking


Just like with packing, the more I unpack, the more I find to unpack.

It is possible for me to lose one of the largest books I own -- my Yale Complete Shakespeare. For 2 friggin' years. How did I accomplish that feat?

  1. have only seen 1.5 episodes, though the first was Death of a Doxy

  2. am very, very picky about my Wolfe.


So, we shall see what we shall see.

We're Brenda -- consume!
