Attempting to find my zen in a foreign land, I've stolen a few moments, trying to find remnants of my familiar morning routine. Any physical exercise I get today will most likely be only in my mind but at least I can spend time with my brain and exercise it through the practice of writing.
As many readers will know, checking email from a location other than your own computer is possible but certainly a more time-consuming procedure than from 'home'. And so it was for me this morning, while reading my email, that I had to continually go through the annoying process of checking 'delete' on each separate email, only being able to view ten emails per 'page', then having to check an aggregate 'delete', and finally answering 'yes' I want to send the selected emails to the trash bin.
It was the term, 'trash bin', that fired up my imagination. Feeling far more annoyed than I should (just because I do not have my laptop with me), I began to think of what else I'd like to send to that great 'trash bin' in the sky......if only I could. Below you will find my list. Please feel free to send me your additions to this list and please note that all references to people, places or things are fictional in nature and not based upon any individual or group.
