My son was a typical kid with a messy room, but 6 years in the USAF has cured that. He had us up to visit his apartment after he started at the White House Communications Office this year, and I thought perhaps I had walked into a very neat clothing store when I went into his closet. I can't even think that neatly. BillR

I am not obsessive-compulsive. I can spot those folks a mile away -- over and over and over again. I am a retired military officer. With that comes a bit of neatness and order. The "Monk" in me comes from wanting to have everything tidy, in its place, and looking as it should look. Any window blind sitting at a 15 degree angle (yes, I am sitting on the deck with the laptop looking at that damn'd blind) is not as it should be. It God wanted things sitting at a 15 degree angle, he would not have allowed us to invent the bubble level. Drives my wife nuts, but I still fold clothes the same way as I was "taught" at USCG boot camp in 1975, Laugh if you want, but if you roll everything (especially jeans), they do NOT wrinkle. I wonder if Wilton lives in clutter? My guess is that his garage is as tidy as a B-52 cockpit (minus the disposed-of Styrofoam coffee cups). He might even have a before-bed checklist. Bed turned down -- check Bladder empty -- check Pillows fluffed -- check Eyeglasses within reach -- check (etc.) On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 4:29 PM, Bill R <billr32...@comcast.net> wrote: > Yes, probably you are correct.
