    Hmm. Maybe. I'll flip my worrystone: rubbed side up, I'll post one.

    We have Big Lots near me.

    The first time I was in an airport restroom with an automatic sensor at the sink, I could not figure it out. I was looking all around for a handle. A little girl told me how to use it...

    I LOVED Pee-Wee's Playhouse.

    Are these subjects all in one poem?!

    Hm...I used the Zeno thing in a poem I wrote about six years ago.

    If I remembered the name of it you could Google it.

    Hm.
