I had a New Earth experience today that surprised me. A few days ago, I got out my checkbook to balance it when my statement arrived, but then I went for a bike ride first. I thought, I better tuck it away while I’m gone instead of leaving it on the table. So I considered for a moment the best place to hide it. Fast forward a few days. Yesterday, I realized my checkbook was missing. I had never done the balancing, and I couldn’t find the checkbook or the statement. I had a perfect memory of everything except the hiding spot. I spent the next half hour looking in every place that seemed like a possible hideaway and found nothing.
