klages has sent us an Easy Button! You know, from the Staples commercials: a big red button that says "Easy" on it? In the commercials the Easy Button seems to have the power to rearrange time and space. Here at home it simply announces "that was Easy." Its magical capacities are subtle--time and space does not rearrange, homework doesn't immediately get done, the lost pants or book or cell phone don't immediately transport in from Wherever--but there's an actual, discernible placebo effect to using the Button. Tres cool.
