just be thankful that the "room" cannot be coerced into testifying under oath

Simple yet poignant — a powerful snapshot of life’s passage and the quiet changes that mark it. ‘Funny how a room dies’ lingers long after reading.

Hi Gersh, In my experience my room died before college then came back to life after marriage. Everything outside in and in-between is speculative.
