• Good Stuff

  So Cool Mary and I were talking about things that are the all time best inventions ever.  She made her list, I made mine, it was disturbing how much we overlapped.  (Although she told me that she didn't see the utility of the cheese grater and that if I ever get lost in the forest, she doubts that it will be much consolation for me to have one.  Never mind that being lost in the forest was not one of the original  parameters.  I still think that even lost in the forest my grated cheese and uncorked wine will  make for a  more pleasant wait for the hunky ranger.)

  So I realized tonight that I left something off my list, and this is a biggie.  It's so big that I may have to extend my list of ten items to twelve.  (I already went to eleven because one of the things on her list was so good it was necessary for me to co-opt it for my list.)

  The little headlight on the front of the vacuum cleaner.

  If it weren't for that light I'd have to turn on the lights which might disturb sleeping people.  But with the headlight I can vacuum all night long.
