I picked a paperback edition of Cheaper By The Dozen years ago that someone had thrown in the trash and was impressed by the extraordinary time management and operational efficiency tips and tricks in it.

A book in the trash? And a good one no less. AGHHHH! How wonderful that you gave it a new home, and yes, it's probably a good time for a new read...a new perspective. I did this recently with "To Kill a Mockingbird." I thoroughly enjoyed the day.
Here's to your good timing!
Ciao, Teri
