Peter – Well, you probably shouldn’t be too surprised. Lawyering and high school teaching are two of the very few professions i think i’d probably do O.K. at (if i weren’t a lazy sack o’ shit, that is).

Zhoen – Ah. That helps put your recent post, the one I smorgasblogged, into perspective, I think. Me, I don’t ever recall feeling that way as a child. Probably because my parents didn’t spend all that much on us. We’d get one or two exciting presents apiece, plus clothes and stocking stuffers (art supplies and such).

David – God, i hate moving! I hope your move is as untraumatic as possible.

I’m ramping up to sorting out my own files and clearing the paper clutter too… but I’ve been slacking on book-packing the last few days. (If I didn’t mention it before, I’m moving down to Virginia early next year.)

And yes, we’re certainly animists! Everything gets personalized….

I remember feeling the same way as a small child, when I felt I’d gotten too many presents. It was overwhelming. Which is why I did not give presents to the few children in my circle, who I know got swamped. I will give to them in other ways at other times, and not add to the burden of loot.

I love reading about you and your nieces.

But, really (excuse me as I collect myself) . . . your filing system is too much . . .

too much like my own, upon reflection. I wish I didn’t have to save things that aren’t discoverable using search fields.
