October 31, 2010 – Animal House.
Happy Halloween everyone! Today, I give away my Animal House DVD – here’s another great example of a disc I SHOULDN’T be hanging on to: 1) It’s on TV about every week, 2) It’s available digitally, 3) Seriously…I think I’ve … Continue reading
October 30, 2010 – First season of the Office.
The first season of the Office was, I thought, stellar. But truth be told…I think it’s run its course. Today I give the first season on DVD away…and begin to eliminate future recordings from my Tivo. Here’s to knowing when … Continue reading
October 29, 2010 – Triumph of the Will.

October 24, 2010 – Sweater vest.
I decided to give this away a few days ago. But I’ve begun a new ritual – before I give it away, I wear it…one last time. I really loved this sweater. It represents what I believe about … Continue reading
October 23, 2010 – Ah…Austin.
Ever since I’ve moved to Texas, I’ve adored Austin. A couple of miles to the south of Dallas, but way to the left, (if you know what I mean) Austin represents the best of Texas – independent, weird (proudly so,) … Continue reading
