A month later, we're in the final stages of moving (we hope), and, as such, have taken to following David's prescription, which is to "blitz" rooms. I'm not sure why he uses that word, but whatever, it seems to suit the action, since in blitzing we remove everything from a room. In doing so we find some interesting things, like a grocery recipt from July 13, 1989. Want to know what was purchased? Of course you do!
