I was just down in the Basement of Doom of our house. It is filled with boxes and boxes of magazines - Nature, Science, computer magazines, random magazines I picked up at the Longmont library, probably a thousand books, Joey's trains, an air hockey table covered with junk, a scanner and printer that have never come out of their box .... In my next life, I hope I'm not a packrat. Sometimes I feel like throwing everything away, but in the middle of the mess I found my mother's high school diploma- Wausau High '52. She would have been 69 years old tomorrow.
