July 11, 2011 – David Cross.
If the next person who gets this DVD gets half the laughs I do from David Cross….it’ll be worth it. One of just a handful of comedians who portrays current events in the light they need to be seen in, … Continue reading
July 10, 2011 – The trick sometimes is not ever to take possession.
This may be my proudest RID ever. I received this as part of my TED bookclub mailing. I realize I’ll never read it…so why even take possession? It goes off to someone else today. Allowing them to read, treasure, and … Continue reading
July 9, 2011 – Monet.
Yesterday, Renoir. Today, Monet. Suffice it to say…my coffee tables getting more organized. And for me? I’ll keep ONLY the books of art that truly connect with me. So, don’t expect to see any contemporary artist collections on this blog. … Continue reading
July 8, 2011 – Renoir.
Today, I RID this book of Renoir art. Didn’t really connect to me – I received it a number of years ago. I think I was holding on to it as a good coffee table book – but frankly, I’ve … Continue reading
July 7, 2011 – Dictionary.

July 6, 2011 – I never worked in food service.

July 5, 2011 – Thesaurus.
Since this is built in to every piece of computing software I now have – I just can’t think of a reason to save an analog copy of a thesaurus. So, today…off it goes. Today, I RID it. Do away … Continue reading
July 4, 2011 – Corporations could learn from this movie.
I love this movie. Multiple comedians tell the same joke. When you watch it, you hear the same joke…over and over and over again. So why is it so funny? It’s because each comedian finds his/her way of telling it. … Continue reading
July 3, 2011 – Buddhism and wisdom.
Today, I RID this book on Buddhist wisdom. I’ve written before about how I’m not a Buddhist, but I have a lot of respect for the philosophy – especially its openness to “the other.” So, as we prepare to celebrate … Continue reading
July 2, 2011 – Something about Mary.
Great movie. ‘Nuff said. But I’ve seen it. Several times. My guess? I might watch it 2 more times in my lifetime…just to share with other people. And that, dear friends, is why we have Netflix. Goodbye.
What I got rid of today.
