Many years ago I wrote a poem about the contents of my Blue Dresser Drawer. It included things like three straight pins; ticket stubs from various concerts, movies, plays, etc (described in detail, including relationship to companion at the event); seven buttons (three white from button down shirt, one faux tortoiseshell, 1 large black, 1 red, 1 small blue); matches (including description, of course); 1 black shoelace; etc. You get the picture.
Slow forward to today and I'm struck by the contents of my e-mail Inbox.

I spent all morning while waiting for the dentist to call answering email. One remains. Two from the local newspaper en re obit, 3 en re Duck's death, about five meeting posts, Amazon about Ocean Liner books, two cruise posts, and 4 exchanges with my husband when it looked like I wasn't to get my new front teeth today.
Not one political thing. I love it. One or two real emails to friends, and a lot of stuff about junque and our condo board.
Life isn't boring.
You win! Although I do see some similarity there. But I'm not surprised about that at all.
I did want to tell you that a few days back I followed a link you posted for Johnny Lee and wound up with a wonderful clip of his whiteboard creation for only $40.00. I also shared it with our Tech Director who has challenged our high school students to make it work. Pretty exciting stuff. Thanks!
Well I thought mine was bad, until I read yours down to the last one! I mark most of mine like these "spam" and click send. Don't know if it helps, but it makes me feel vindicated.
