Someday I would like to have a house with adequate storage space. But of course that won't happen because, (a) there is no such thing and, (b) I'm never moving. Casa Sneed ain't all that, but it's paid for. So, today I spent the afternoon putting up shelves in the laundry room. These are they. Technically, only the top shelf that wraps around the room is new. The bottom one was there already but after nearly 14 years of service, it was a bit dogeared. So, I changed it too. Now it all looks the same, more or less. I also ran into my old friend (literally my old friend) Chuck. Chuck just turned 90. He used to join us for lunch every week, but for the past few weeks he has been a no-show. Our waitress is a friend of Chuck's and gives us regular updates on him, so I knew was alive. Anyway, I ran into the old guy at the hardware store this morning. I went in to get some hardware for the shelf project and there he was, buying spray paint. Chuck launched into a nonstop monologue about where he has been and what he has been up to. He told me that his son recently bought a Ninetendo Wii and he has become addicted to it. "I can't stop playing it!" Since today was our regular lunch day, I told him to 'be there or be square', but he was on his way to the casino and begged off. The guy's a hoot.
