I'm a fraud. I mistakenly thought I was frugal. I joke that my kids have only two pairs of shoes. (Why do they need more? They have only one pair of feet.) I have trouble telling the difference between the baby pictures of my two daughters because I dressed the younger one in the same...

HERE was a time, not so long ago in my more carefree youth, when I was a dedicated backpacker.   It went beyond the standard gapyear routine, and most summers I could be found in some distant corner of the globe, living the life of an adrenaline junkie.

Maybe walking upright on two legs isn't such a defining human feature after all.

One recent Saturday morning, I woke with one seemingly simple thing in mind: cleaning out and organizing the closets in my bedroom. If my closets were a database system, the contents would be stored as BLOBs (binary large objects) of varying sizes with no defining structure â just a dumping ground for stuff.

Faced with a mound of the messy detritus of my own life, I did what most people would probably do: I went to the store to buy even more stuff to organize the stuff I already had.
