We aim to please?

So I've begun a "Lift the Lid" campaign in my 836 Central Avenue abode. I'm going to spare you the details on the motivations behind the campaign, but suffice it to say that when I informed my mother that I was about to embark on this venture, she said, "Well, I am glad that someone else is promoting the cause." One of my scruples is to continually ameliorate my immediate surroundings and this is a subcampaign of my larger goal of improving the quality of life for the Brooks Family. Living at home has given me a greater opportunity to observe nature v. nurture in my personality and habits. My preferences for cleanliness and organization appear to be nature, though not immediately hereditary. I think they must have descended from my grandmother; my mother's sister inherited them as well.
