Sure, it's only one way to measure, but you look at a stock market chart - what, you don't? - and it's hard to believe we're not through the worst of it.

Be it ever so humble: It's about to be hurricane season down in them there Gulf states, so, hey, no time like the present to take that home inventory! So says Kate, who's going to follow the step-by-step instructions laid out by Other Kate in last week's Do One Thing. Presh, too, said taking a home inventory is on his to-do list.

In fact, suggests Presh, more of our entertainment costs should be considered this way. Dinner parties, possibly, in particular. But I wouldn't extend it to movies, though, because that would make the 124-minute The Twilight Saga: Eclipse a better buy than the 103-minute Toy Story 3, and I don't know anyone who thinks that's true.

I have no idea, but it is. Sadly, it is not also the universal currency of first, last, and security.
