Pot Rack

January 9, 2006

It may not seem like much to you when I tell you that I just got a pot rack. Its significance might not be immediately clear.

The pot rack, you see, is my first piece of optional furniture here in Boston. It's 35" x 8 ^1/2" of commitment. It's a consciously-crafted ploy to force myself to feel more settled. Nothing says "settled" like a pot rack.

But ... it requires installation—more commitment than I had in mind....

I wonder how long it's going to sit in its box, over there in the corner of the kitchen...

"Refer to Figure 2. Attach the two vertical support arms to the shelf with the buttonhead screws. Tools required: drill; hex wrench; level; pencil; pliers; screwdriver; tape measure."

I think I've got a pencil around here, at least. Somewhere. If I can remember where I put it.

Maybe commitment is overrated.

Five days. Less than I would have guessed. Welcome to Boston.
