Do you ever walk into a room and wonder why you’re there? Let’s say you’re heading to the back closet where you keep paper goods stored, so you can get another box of Kleenex, but by the time you get to the closet, you have to spend time staring at the contents while you try … Continue reading

Fun Friday: In Search of a Frying Pan of Doom
