I'm all over this 'unclutter' philosophy. The Collyer Brothers warrants a look. Creepy but educational at the same time. Here's to Spring Cleaning! Vanessa's comment is amazingly unique! This is what blogging (and comments) should be about. Blog on! Sam Nice blog. I’m all over this ‘unclutter’ philosophy. The Collyer Brothers warrants a look. Creepy but educational at the same time.

Your story gives me much more detail than I'd had before. Thanks very much for filling in that little piece of my childhood.

The next day I started my spring cleaning! Quite the inspiration. Thanks for reminding me it's time again!
