…there IS a Santa Clause. And her name is Maeve. At least there is a Santa Clause if you are the otherwise unfortunate soul who has to clean up after me at either a hotel room or the seat back pocket on an airplane. Because THAT is where I make my fairly regular gift offerings of iPods, half-read books, cash, jewelry and oddly enough...all those giftees I pick up for my dog sitter. In fact, I once left two power cords in a single hotel room. Now that takes effort.
I do not think they INTENDED iPods to be disposable, but I just lost my third one on my way back from….ummm, actually I have no earthly idea where I lost it. I had it when I got to Boston, but not when I left Philly. There was another city in there too, I think [we may have determined the root of the issue here]. And let’s be honest, given who we’re talking about – if it weren’t something I valued, the lost-iPod situation could be much worse (see: prescription drug losses).
Seriously, I have made the day of many an airline waitress or hotel cleaning lady through my stupidity generosity. Should I worry if I am listed as a “benefactor” to the Service Employees International Union? And people think I tip big (a buck fifty is big, right?) at hotels to compensate for the mess I leave behind me…au contraire – I consider it a down payment so that Hazel will turn my Southwest credit card into lost and found (where it can be more properly stolen by the desk clerk).
Oddly enough, I have never once lost my to-do list.

Hey Maeve, have you ever called Southwest to see if anyone turned in your lost belongings? Don't laugh - it happens sometimes.
Failing that, based on your track record, perhaps you should tape your To-Do list to your Ipod every morning.
too bad apple doesn't have a frequent buyer program!
