Today I was reading and listening to this article about George Takei. And in the interview, Mr. Takei made a comment that struck me.

So, we’re slowly but surely organizing our new dwelling.
It shouldn’t be this big of deal, I keep thinking — but in reality this is the first time, probably in 5 years or so, that we’re attempting to properly organize a house. In 2002 we moved out of the apartment we lived in, into [...]
