I Googled "sideboard" because I couldn't remember if it was one word or two. The top result was a Wikipedia entry. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. But who writes these kind of entries? For free? Where do they live? Who are they friends with? Now, I understand if you want to write about Babe Ruth or the Rolling Stones or some other special interest or hobby. But who writes about generic sideboards? From Wikipedia I also learned that sideboard is a nickname for sideburns. Lo and behold, there's a really, really long entry on sideburns, or my favorite term, mutton chops. Go take a look at all the prominent people with sideburns. Olga and I have decided we're going to grow a pair each so that we can become prominent too. All of this is a long-winded way of saying that we received a beautiful sideboard (one word, not two) from Olga's mother that had been in storage for several years. It arrived with some damage to the veneer. The storage company happily sent someone over to fix it. The veneer fixer guy was young but diligent, polite and careful. His work is above.
