Recycled Wrap

Are you getting a new computer or cell phone for Christmas? What do you plan to do with the old one?

Now that's a win-win.

All my relatives know that I refold the wrapping paper from my Christmas presents for use later.

"Aunt Jane," asked one of my young nieces, "why do you save all that paper?"

"I'm doing what's best for the environment," I replied. "So I'm recycling this paper."

But then my daughter pipes up, "Good thing you didn't ask that question five years ago ... then she was just plain cheap."

WONDER for YOUR WEEK: If I ride my bike to work and then ride it home again at night, can I call that recycling?
