I forgot — Yesterday, I emptied the last plastic bin of mixed clag from the study closet and found its contents to be obsolete computer-related gear. Habitat for Humanity is the local salvager of e-waste, so off I went with the car boot stuffed, and came home half an hour later to more clear space in the basement and four empty file boxes that will find a new home with the choir library.

Hauling music for issue to the singers has always been a problem for the choir librarians, but my predecessors in the job used large, heavy plastic crates, probably because they couldn’t face more than one trip up the stairs. I intend to forestall the whining through the use of smaller, lighter containers (e.g., stackable cardboard file boxes) and a hand truck to shift it all from the car into the rehearsal space. I’ll do the stairs myself. Stairs are good for the wind and the legs.

The clag that used to be in those file boxes is in the plastic bin from the study closet. I expect that most of it will end up in the trash.
