Imagine how very delighted my youngest son will be when I arrive at his destination wedding location with a roller bag full of plastic newspaper sleeves, then sit on a stoop weaving and braiding the bags into a stunning full-length formal gown appropriate for all MOG occasions.
We receive a minimum of four "newspaper sleeves" every library day, and most days several more. Hmmm. Perhaps macrame. Tying the knot...
I'm not suggesting the wedding guests remove and compost their formal attire right there at the reception. That would be bad on several levels. Thinking more about how to make extra space for souvenirs in my carry-on luggage for the return flight.
