Okay, this is dangerous territory.

There are card catalogs from Yale University up on eBay.

Perhaps I'm fortunate I didn't get one of the ones I bid on. I've since become convinced I need a double-drawer, and even more recently a four-drawer catalog.

It might hold the quantity, but I really want to be able to separate them out -- personal from writing, and possibly broken down in more ways. Because while the A-Z thing is perfect for the reference file, my index cards need to be organized in a better way.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
