When Ira gets ready for the holiday season, he gently takes his bottle of special rocks out of the broom closet and meditates. Don't tell anyone, but he hears the rocks singing to him and it's a bit soothing (once you get past the creepy factor). The rocks don't just sing like "la la la la," but they sing out to-do lists to keep him focused. Today they were giving him ideas on stew recipes and a hidden route to his best friend's home.
