You sound like a guy who's either stoned.....or who stays up until 4:00 am working. Get some sleep, Wayne.

I was going through some boxes under the stairs last year, just generally cleaning up. There were a couple I had not opened since finishing school and moving out. There was some fun stuff in there.

The biggest score was a lowly box of 20 Crayola crayons. In my mom's handwriting was "Christina Higgins" followed by "Miss XXXX's (I forget the name) Kindergarten Class". They were my little sister's, from kindergarten. Almost unused. I wrapped them up and gave them to her last Christmas.
