I accomplished so much at the beach. Cleaned out every closet and almost every drawer; washed and returned to their places all the chotchkes, pictures and books … I threw away enormous amounts of junk.
The first weekend Boss saw what I was doing. “You’re merciless,” he said. We came across an ancient Polaroid camera and agreed to discard it. But he decided to open it first. Then he couldn’t get it closed. He sat at the table fooling with it determined to get it closed. Finally he did and then said, “Now you can throw it away.”
When he returned home on Monday, he immediately called and said, “I forgot my cap. Please don’t throw it away!”
