When I get the time, I'm going to write a trilogy of romance novels called "Robert's Rules of Ardor".
They will be tales of deliberative passion, like "Fifty Shades of Grey" but for a different crowd. Think club treasurers, co-op people, policy wonks, jurists....
Working titles:
- "Lay on the Table"
- "Privileged Motions"
- "Commit or Refer"

10% of why I use a tea timer is to steep the tea for the right amount of time. 90% is so I won't forget that I'm making tea. So many times I've come across my own two-hour-old cold tea.
