PERSONAL INVENTORY

1. Did it hurt when you tethered or caged your pets? How about
   the frostbite? What part of you experienced the greatest
   amount of pain and what part went numb first?

2. Admit it; this felt good. And there’s something about freshly-
   washed hair that grounds one in reality. Did you fall asleep in
   your car? What did you dream about?

3. How dangerous was this exercise? What did you
   find when you opened the closet?

4. Print the photographs. On the backs, inscribe relevant findings
   from your diary. This is your new tarot deck.

5. What did you gain most from this experience? Upper body
   strength and a tan? Do you think your future ghost will be
   obligated to visit the houses you worked on?

6. On a scale of podunk to metropolis, how interesting is local
   history according to your research?

7. This was probably a real heartbreaker. Are you ok? What do
   you think would happen if you opened safe now?

8. What did you lose? If you know where you lost something is it
   really lost?

9. How has your interest in boating been affected by this
   exercise?

10. (This line is intentionally left blank.)

11. This was another good one, right? Don’t you feel wonderful
    about seeing Venice before it drinks up too much icecap
    runoff

12. Woodworking and wellness: discuss.

13. Did this result in papercuts? If so, how did you treat them?

14. Do you love your hands a little more now? Do you have

    nightmares about them?

15. Same questions as above, except re: your feet.

16. What did you tell your boss about missing work? What did you

    tell the animals?

17. Did your dentist have any choice comments?

18. Who did you call? What did you say?
