They chuckle — once again — over the hapless humans. “Look at them,” they exclaim, “Wringing their hands over us! ‘HOW could we lose such a good can opener?’ Boo hoo! And such a small thing, they say: Where could the vegetable brush possibly be?” On wrapping up their meeting, they sneer, “They’ll never find us — bwah hah hah!” Thus is the state of affairs in Zakerland. We’re the emotional captives of three inanimate — but very tricky objects. There is no earthly reason why any of them should have escaped the kitchen. And the can opener WAS good: a Pampered Chef model that was pretty easy on the wrist. My wife and I have come to accept the notion that we always have to have a family mystery. At least one at a time. As soon as one’s solved, another pops up. We’re not your average, “single-sock mystery” household: Our clothes dryer isn’t that hungry. Buying something ahead of time can get interesting. I’ve been known to purchase a gift for my wife, just to see it take cover in a secluded corner of a closet and escape my memory. Not my wife’s, though. She picked out a nightgown for me to give her and I put it away so well that it took years to find it. As you can see, this trend isn’t recent. It stretches back almost as long as our marriage. What about the mystery people at our wedding, way back in the last century. My wife recalls them as a neighbor and his girlfriend. I insist they were wedding crashers. If so, the joke was on them: There was no alcohol at our reception. Take the case of the relatively new pair of my daughter’s boots that goes missing: Are they where they’re supposed to be, in the basket by the front door? Nope. In the next most logical spot, the front hall closet? Please: Where would be the mystery in that? A few days into this particular “case,” my wife stopped by the computer room and sighed, “This thing with the boots is driving me crazy in the head.” Me, too. I looked in both cars. I looked in the laundry room. I checked under the pool table. Under all the beds. Behind all the couches. Nothing. Nada. Negative. Zero. Zilch. This footwear somehow had made its way into the proverbial thin air. Fast-forward to the next day. The rebellious boots turned up, under a pile of sewing fabric in my daughter’s bedroom closet. Yes, I had glanced into her closet, but I certainly didn’t suspect she had dumped the fabric into the same space as the boots. Yes, this is a “miss-story,” but I swear it’s not a matter of our being absent-minded. Here’s a recent good example: We’re stopped in downtown St. Louis and open the door to switch drivers. In the time it takes us to get re-seated, we find one of the three pages of Google maps has disappeared. Gone. No one saw it blow into the Missouri sky out of the car. No one saw it slide under the front seat. You tell me where it went. And this is even a better one: A few weeks ago, I jotted some notes for this very column into the newspaper’s computer system. Boy, they were good ones, too. So, the other day, I went back to the file to add a few more precious words and — well, you can guess the rest. Some mysteries are more gut-wrenching than others. You can’t find your wallet, or car keys or cellphone. The next several minutes are panicky — until you find them in the door or the pocket of a coat you’re sure you hadn’t been wearing that day. I certainly would like to have all the time back that I’ve spent searching for things. All right, Hey, kakhi pants — you can come out now. You win! 6:00 Channels 8 ( WSEC ATT CHANNELS 37 A&E 32 AMC 46 ANPL 29 BET 39 CNBC 26 CNN 45 COM 43 DISN 31 DSC 27 ESPN 59 FAM 50 FNC 48 FOOD 56 FSMW 54 FX 57 HGTV 51 HALL 20 ION 42 LIFE 40 MSNBC 25 NICK 33 SPIKE 67 SYFY 38 TBS 52 TLC 34 TNT 63 TRUTV 30 USA 24 VH1 9 WGN-A 6:30 www.herald-review.com 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 3 News at Six Inside Edition Two and a The Millers ’ Criminal Minds Garcia delves CSI: Crime Scene Investiga(N) (N) ’ Half Men ’ into her hacker past. tion (N) ’ (DVS) PBS NewsHour (N) ’ Nature White-tailed deer in the NOVA Britain takes down Ger- Chasing Shackleton (N) ’ U.S. ’ (DVS) man zeppelins.
