Following the plan

The wife is away for a few days, so I sat down and wrote up a short list of things I really don't want to forget: get the mail, get the paper, feed the dogs, feed the birds, and the like. Writing it down helps me remember.

So this morning I walked the driveway and got the paper. And early this afternoon I walked it again for the mail. No mail. Must be too early, I figured.

So I went down again, late afternoon. No mail. Well it's not too early now, I figured. Must be some other problem.

Oh yeah, today's Sunday. No mail on Sunday.

It was written down, you know? It was on the list, so I checked the mail on Sunday.

Twice.
