Maryann, this is a month for doing things we can't afford, it seems. But things that need to be done. More power to us!

Lurkers, come out, come out, wherever you are, join our little club, even if you're reporting that you've cleaned off the kitchen table or the kitchen counter. Made space on the hall table or organized the smallest room in your house. That's a common starting point, and you can work outward from there.
