The time of finding things

[fbhjr]

I hadn't seen my iPod since the symposium 3 weeks ago. (Yeah, having the iPad didn't make looking a priority.)
I hadn't seen my phone's headset in about the same amount of time.
There was a book I knew we had that my wife wanted to see, but I couldn't remember where it was.

All three showed up in the last 24 hours.

So, it is the time of finding things.
I like that time.

Usually my wife is

the Finder of Lost Things - that is her official title around our house. But, when she cannot find the thing(s) either, then they become totally lost, and we have to wait until the people that build the future (from that Twilight zone or dark shadows episode - can't remember which) catch their mistake and the thing appears again.
Last Christmas, I had had enough of their mistakes (the people who build the future but forget to include the lost thing in it - causing it to become lost). So, I went on a rampage and bought a whole bunch of these little electronic gizmos (Find One Find All, or FOFAs). I even bought some for my family. No one wanted them. I have a bunch of them now. And, in spite of not attaching/using very many of them, nothing has become lost since...

For us it's that the pixies get bored. For serious, my boots were lost *under a briefcase*
*makes face*

Were they blue?

I am usually "the Frank who finds things". But it doesn't always work...

Yes, I believe that they were blue!

I can believe the boots under the briefcase thing - I spent half a day looking for my wallet and ended up not going out to a movie. Eventually we found the wallet *inside* of my wife's lunch box - we still can't figure that one out!

Maybe one of the dogs put it there...
