The Worst Time

The worst time for conversation is just before going to bed. We do it all the time.

We spend a quiet evening reading the papers, watching television, falling asleep on the couch and THEN, when it's time to close up for the night we start organizing files, discussing the next day's activities, making to-do lists and sometimes getting on each other's nerves when we can't decide on A or B. (And, by the way, writing my blog.)

How silly is that? If you're tired save it for tomorrow. Then again, it's nice to plan ahead. Gives you a sense of control of your upcoming day. Sometimes the to-do list gets a little crowded and then you wonder if you'll have time for everything.

Then again, what's the hurry? Chances are whatever it is can wait a day or even two. Like "registering" our new washer and dryer. The forms have been sitting on my desk for over a week. Why do we have to "register" these things anyway?

What if we didn't register? Would the registration police knock on our doors and demand the model and serial numbers of our new products?

How's this for a new product: Registration Protection. No pat-downs, no strip searches. No personal intrusions. But you have to register for it.
