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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com\">Ebay<\/a> off a bunch of old stuff in my apartment, like my DVD collection (to make room for future Blu-Ray discs, of course) &#8211; 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cakes4occasions.com\">Danvers<\/a> to pick up our free anniversary cake on Patriot&#8217;s Day, the day when <a href=\"http:\/\/redsox.mlb.com\/\">Sox<\/a> fans, <a href=\"http:\/\/bruins.nhl.com\/\">Bruins<\/a> fans, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonmarathon.org\/\">Boston Marathon<\/a> 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&#8217;m ready to enjoy the outdoors again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 &#8230; stupid.
