May 29, 2011 – On wealth.
If there’s one theme for this blog, it might be “be careful when you start making money, you might end up owning a bunch of stuff you don’t really care about anyway.” Take that Adam Smith. RID…away.
May 28, 2011 – Stuff for stuff, for stuff.
When I started this blog, the one category I wasn’t expecting to have so much of was… Stuff for stuff. That is, stuff that exists merely to take care of other stuff. DVD holders. Bookshelves. Hard drives for computer backup. … Continue reading
May 27, 2011 – On being wrong.
Good book. Amazing TED speech. One of the best of the year. The summation of this great text? When you’re wrong, it feels like…you’re right. Good thought for a Friday I’d say. Now, I’m going to pass it along to … Continue reading
May 26, 2011 – Framing your parents.
Just an old picture frame. This one held a picture of me and my parents – from a long time ago. I RID this one today, but will keep the photo in a treasured place.

I’ve been writing this blog for about a year (almost there!) And, I think I’ve figured out how it evolves on August 1. But more on that later. I have another blog I’ve been doing for about 5 years. If … Continue reading

May 23, 2011 – Close shave.
Got this “Snocone maker” from an friend of mine at my last job. But, gotta RID it today. You see, I’m on a minimal sugar diet. And having Snocones around would simply be too much temptation. See ya.
May 22, 2011 – Old flame frame.
RIDding an old frame today. That used to contain the image of someone I used to be with. No more. Relationship…over. Frame…RIDded. Onward.
May 21, 2011 – Pans. Just pans.
Today, I RID a couple of pans. Why? Because I’ve decided that I’m not a good enough cook to have non-nonstick pans. Just too much trouble…hassle…clean up. So, today they go off to the RID pile. And to a better … Continue reading
May 20, 2011 – Promises betrayed.
Today, I RID this book on political promises. When they’re made…and when they’re broken. There’s quite a lot I could say about this with my liberal sensibilities…but I’ll leave that to the pundits. Suffice it to say, I’ll do the … Continue reading
What I got rid of today.
