Often a store has a sign with the warning, "You break it, you bought it." This is to keep people from carelessly handling the merchandise.
I'm thinking of another sign, which should be posted all through my house. "If it's broken, I bought it." This is not to say everything in my house is broken, but to point out that everything has a breaking point. And, it's not to say I can't fix anything. I just can't fix anything that is broken.
A case in point; my easy chair.
A man's easy chair, especially mine, is control central of his world. My easy chair is so situated that I can easily access my entire world. Whoever invented the easy chair must have been a genius, at least in my book.
To the left of my easy chair is a small stand with a light. On this stand rest various works in progress. I will admit some are in slow progress, but that's the way I like it. I can reach into this pile, pull out some work and spend a little time on it. Also on this stand is a well-stocked container of pens and pencils.
Someone in our house, and I will not mention any names, has suggested getting rid of this pile. There are times, and this is one of them, I do not pay attention to certain suggestions.
To the right of my easy chair are various items. I have the telephone, the remote control and a variety of reference books, all within easy reach.
At the foot of my easy chair leans a small notebook computer.
As you can see, my easy chair pulls my world together in a harmony of delightful reach-ability. |
