Phil and I cleaned out our back room yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. We have a master bedroom, an office/computer room, and a work-out room with weights and stuff. Well, the “stuff” in that room made it really hard to do anything. Last year’s Christmas decorations were still on the floor, because I couldn’t get to the closet
