I cannot watch TV in bed. It's just never worked for me. I rear in bed.
Maybe I have done that for so long that I cannot read during the day
without getting tired and falling asleep.

We just did a massive purge of books. Our book shelves have been full
for years and now there are piles of books in the bedroom. My wife was
reluctant to discard our old books. Apparently only Nazis destroy books.
Thankfully, our son agreed with me about the need to de-clutter and to
get rid of all the books that are not likely to be reread.

We filled 10 cartons with old novels, children's books, university texts
and manuals. She did not want them to go to the dump, so I tried Value
Village. I was surprised that they took them all. They also took a pile
of computer programs on CD.

The bookshelves were all cleaned off and now there is room for me to
bring down the books cluttering the bedroom.

I guess the next step is to get rid of old VHS tapes and discs for a
game system we no longer have.
