Bob was pleased that he had a task, and set about the process. This type of task is when Sheri is reminded just out of sync Bob's mind is. As he started sorting the new sheets, he became distracted by the old sheets, reading them out loud as best he could. Then he started taking the old sheets out of the binder creating a huge pile, mixing the old with the new, the hole punched with the not hole punched. Bob became overwhelmed and confused. He shook his head and said he was not sure he could get this done. Then he would say this was to much to handle. Sheri gently reminded him that he really just needed to add the new ones to the book, He stayed steadfast at the task, mentioning to Sheri that this collection would surely be of value some day. Then about 4 hours in (truly) he stood up and with his thumb in his belt loop stretched out his back in his usual way and said "Do we have a copy machine any more? I should make a copy of these and bring them to work, I bet they would really enjoy them."
My dear sweet man... :)
