The Buckets by Greg Cravens for October 07, 2011

I thought I lost my keys today. I thought I would have to go back to some 10 places all over town to find them.

My wife can lose her keys in her purse. She named it ‘The Black Hole’. When she puts something in there, it may never be seen again.

My method for always knowing where my keys are was to build a rock-solid habit of putting them in my front left pocket. It typically works, but anytime some tiny, tiny break in routine happens, I can’t settle down until my keys are back in that pocket. So I made myself neurotic just for the sake of my sanity.

Nuts. I wish I hadn’t written that here. I could have put that last line into a comic.

Also, always put them in the same place in the house. That’s most people I know seem to lose them.

That wasn’t a joke Larry!

I wouldn’t wind her up Larry..

She looks tired and annoyed.

Believe me, I know what that’s like.

When I can’t find my keys the first guess is dangling from the doorknob, second guess; ignition. Rarely need a third guess.

Hello Mister Drake..

How are you doing?

:-)

I’m doing just fine. I finished my first assignment today for Computer Graphics. I ended up getting lost in my work and nearly lost track of time. Just glad it’s done as the deadline is 10th October.

I’m really glad you’re doing well too.

My doctor says it’s okay to forget where you put your keys. It’s when you can’t remember what they’re for that you have to worry.

Awwww, Yeah that sounds great.

I’ll take your advice!

Thank you so much

:-)

So … any minute now, Larry will be finding the keys to the doghouse? ;)
