Life... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won't be got rid of. Anita Brookner

Now, I don't like to point fingers. I've got my share of unfinished projects. There is a box full of shell pieces that are destined for a wall art mosaic as soon as I find the right frame.  I've been looking for that frame for 6 months. I have several storage tubs in my closet that if I would just unpack I could actually walk into my walk-in closet. But, I'm sorry if the procrastination kingdom has a king - I have found him. (Overhead at a small home in Englewood) "Look Honey! I bought a sailboat!" "But Darling, you don't sail" "I know, but I'm going to learn" (Overheard at same Englewood home 1 year later) "Sweetheart, I'm going to take the sailing lessons as soon as I fix the hole in the boat" ( Overheard yet another year later) "My Love, I made you a new planter in the front yard!" I drove around the block to get a second look.
