Next week I go back to work, and I’ve gotten rid of a ton of stuff that I could just throw away, and made it through most of my backlog of “non-critical” snail mail. Things aren’t perfectly the way I want them yet, but getting closer. Now I’m trying to work out a plan for […]
I have several weeks off before I have to go back to work full time on the next season of our TV show, so I’m using some of that to finally get my home office and screening room organized. All the books are now labeled with Dewey Decimal Classification numbers, which was probably a bit […]
1.) I have a tendency to latch onto what should be a very small part of a larger project, and turn it into a project unto itself. Hence, cleaning out the living room (which contained some books) turned into a chance to organize the entire collection.

Well, the three of you who actually read this column regularly may have noticed that I took quite a hiatus the past few weeks, and unannounced at that.
