Things never get lost around our house, they just disappear for a short while and the pop back into view. Is it the same at your house or are you just so organized that if it’s gone, you know it will never return?

Thus is the case with our video camera. It decided to reveal it’s hiding place whilst I was rummaging around for some other treasure. It was in a closet not six feet from where I sit. Inside one of those storage boxes, but nonetheless it was right on top.

Now I can’t wait for the battery to charge to see what’s on that tape!

Also in the box were other electronic gadgets that I just couldn’t throw away.

We all have a dozen unused remotes, right? Or is that just me? So what will we accumulate in the next couple of years?

• mouses
• film cameras
• digital cameras
• headsets
• miles and miles of cables
• power supplies

The stuff that just looks too new and too usable to get rid of when a replacement comes into the house.
