The other day I called Byron to see what he was up to.

"I'm going through boxes and cleansing my present of my past," he says. "That sounds very Oprah, doesn't it?"

I agree that it does. Then, to sound more Oprah: "Maybe you should take your soul out to lunch, too."

Byron thinks this is a stellar idea.

"And then buy your soul a scarf," I add.

"Perhaps take my soul to a day spa," Byron say. "Get it a facial."

Oprah would be proud.
