Yes, I ought to have wrapped presents or gone grocery shopping this morning, but I didn't (so we are having oatmeal for lunch). Instead I wasted an enjoyable chunk of time duct-taping the boy's sword box. It was a ragged, ugly, falling-apart box that several years ago housed our new weed-eater, and its days were numbered. But is is so very handy as a place to store weapons like light sabers and foam swords that I thought it worth redeeming before it collapsed completely. I think it should now survive until all my kids move out of the house.
