Moral Fiber

I've decided that everyone should move at least once every six months. Moving is good for your moral fiber. It obviates nearly every one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Take Covetousness, for instance. The human spirit of generosity truly shines forth when you're moving. "Here you go, this is yours." "No no no, you take it, it's yours." Just heartwarming.

Or Gluttony. I don't know how anyone can clean out their fridge without vowing that they will never touch food again.

Lust? Hard to be in the mood when you stink of sweat and bleach and whatever the heck is under the fridge.

Sloth? Not a chance, when you're supposed to be legally out of the house in a few hours. It's enough to make even Sam work his tail off.

Unfortunately I can't fit every one of the Sins into the picture. Particularly Wrath. So hold off on emailing Robert Bork and asking him to call off his crusade. I haven't completely solved the whole USA-moral-decay problem yet. Give me a few more weeks. I'm sure I'm real close now.
