Once a year, whether it needs it or not
This morning my capable assistant and I are dusting and straightening around blog headquarters. Dad's office is not a pretty sight when the sunlight is bright and you look at the surfaces up close.
It reminds us of the Catholic boy who, upon hearing that "thou art dust and unto dust thou shall return," cheerily responded that someone was either coming or going under his bed.

"His soul had arisen from the grave of boyhood, spurning her graveclothes. Yes! Yes! Yes! He would create proudly out of the freedom and power of his soul, as the great artificer whose name he bore, a living thing, new and soaring and beautiful, impalpable, imperishable."

Boy, I can echo that! I'm cleaning off the stairs that go up to my office. And my desk? Oy!

When you and your capable assistant get done there, you can practice what you just learned in my office.
