As we wind our way down to mid March and the annual bonus check, I am slowly but surely clearing this place of all the crap we never use. It's a small place and we've lived here for fourteen years. You get a lot of stuff in that time and there's no room for anything else, so I am going room to room and getting rid of everything that has laid around for a year without being touched, no matter how expensive it was. I do this every year around this time. If you go back through the archives (admittedly imperfect and unfinished, so don't bother) you'll see similar entries this time every year.
I guess I can take some comfort in that. It's certainly better than pain and doctors and sadness. Maybe we should take some comfort any time we can find benign, consistent threads in our lives that tie one year to the next. The older I get, the more I look for things like that and what once would have been unbearably boring is starting to feel very comfortable to me.
