Learnin' Me Something

Organizationally Challenged Or Just A Filthy Pig?

May 2, 2013 2:15 pm

Updated: May 3, 2013 4:49 pm

When I was a young man, I saw no need to keep my room clean or tidy. As long as there was a clear path to the door leading to the rest of the house from my bed, and a path from the bed to the closet, I was happy.
