Having my wisdom teeth removed last week left me not only looking like a chipmunk and chewing soft foods (and vicodin), but also a little more … stupid. First, after finally replacing my broken scanner, I decided to digitize my entire file cabinet, which entailed scanning all my forms, bills, and receipts, and having to shred the knee-high stash of paper left by said endeavor. I also decided suddenly to Ebay off a bunch of old stuff in my apartment, like my DVD collection (to make room for future Blu-Ray discs, of course) – only to realize that after the fees, commissions, and shipping costs, I was left with a net profit of just about $2-3 per disc. Yet it was not until today that my stupidity reached its nadir when we made the ill-fated decision to drive out to Danvers to pick up our free anniversary cake on Patriot’s Day, the day when Sox fans, Bruins fans, and Boston Marathon runners pour into the streets to enjoy the spring weather while ruining any attempts by drivers to navigate the roads by automobile. Ironically, our anniversary is not for another 3 weeks. Nevertheless, being stuck in traffic under the afternoon sun did remind me that tennis season has returned, and I’m ready to enjoy the outdoors again.
