    I'm with you on the proliferation of tasks at home. I'm a relative newbie, and I do have two systems. But my @Errands and @Calls lists merge, and that's where I gain efficiency. Same stops or same...

    For a hasty post on a crabby Monday. The download and directions were sent to my Bulk Mail, so I didn't see them. This outfit looks like it's on the up and up. good luck with your stuff.

    any books

    The #1 Ladies Detective Agency Series by Alexander McCall Smith. I've never read anything like them, but P. G. Wodehouse is close. Lighthearted, heartwarming, just plain funny - ensemble comedy.
