Losing It
Ahh...the joy of an evening well spent. Well, spent looking for LT's glasses for a good three hours. But the search was not entirely fruitless -- or the first this week. The other night we decided to watch "Emma," only to discover it was nowhere to be found. We tore this place apart...I even checked the trunk of my car thinking maybe I took it to class as an "optional" film. No luck. At about 2:00 a.m. we finally gave up and went to bed. BUT tonight in the search for the glasses, "Emma" surfaced. So did the remote control for the bedroom television that we lost three months ago. And finally LT's glasses which, as it turns out, were in the garage on top of a QT cup next to the gas can in the corner by my car. A perfectly logical place for them. He must have set them down when he was mowing the lawn and forgotten all about them. Three for three (and while only looking for one!)...not bad for a night's work.

Apparently if things have a place then they are easier to find. Or at least that's what I'm told.
I have heard such things. I even suggested to LT during the search that if he would KEEP the glasses in one place he would be able to find them, yet somehow this did not seem to receive its due appreciation. It is fairly easy to keep things in a specific place if there is one of you, but add two more and it becomes chaotic. Add our cat Greebo and it becomes impossible (he takes great delight in running, leaping, tearing all over the house knocking everything off tables, mantles, and so on). And he looks so sweet and innocent!
