Organized

I've got a lot of stuff running through my mind tonight--it's nothing I want to go into on the LPB just yet. Rest assured, everything is fine. Very good, actually. I'm mulling over some exciting and possibly terrifying possibilities for my future.

But that's not what this post is about.

See, when I get this way--mulling and worrying and stewing ideas in my brain--I get this insane drive to organize. You all know that I'm a bit of a neat freak to begin with, so when these times come, I get, perhaps, a little insane.

I just spent about two hours organizing my "Here's Your Sign" folder on my hard drive. Yes, the folder that contains hundreds of sign pictures I've taken over the last, oh, decade. Really more like 12 years, because I have scanned pictures of signs from London Semester 1999.

Actually, I just checked the properties of the folder out...make that 1,016 sign pictures.

I've been busy.

Anyway, tonight, I organized them all into folders by place. It's easy to forget where Pizza Wayside was (I Googled it--Tiburon, CA) and other places. I got them all sorted out.

Because I find it maddening trying to manage more than one blog, I'm probably going to delete my old sign blog and start posting regular features here on the LPB of my favorite sign pictures. With over a thousand of them (and more pouring in all the time), I figure I can keep that going for a long time. And instead of posting them one at a time, I'll do them in themes. After all, I (don't laugh) have a whole folder of signs that remind me of Keane--Tim's Christmas Tree Lot, Richland Street, Tom's Books, Quinn's (for Jesse Quin)...etc.

Okay, fine. Laugh. I would, too.

As for the stuff rattling around in my head, well, maybe I'll talk about it soon.
