finding things

My glasses came off in the ocean and I found them. Really. But that wasn't luck, I immediately devised a system and stuck to it. It worked.

My wife's nose ring came off at Whole Foods. I went immediately to the place where we had dawdled around the most - in front of the beer section. It was there, on the ground. She was impressed.

That said, I can't seem to find a pair of scissors when I need one.

But my special talent/curse isn't finding things, it's Asperger's.
