October 6, 2010 – Denon…done.
This little stereo unit has served me well for a long, long time. In fact, as I look at this unit today — I think about my life, my career, and what has changed. I first bought this to be … Continue reading
October 4, 2010 – Tivo, number two.
This is the second Tivo I’ve given away on the RID project. I was hanging on to it not for the machine itself, but because I had shows saved on it that I was “going” to watch someday. A few … Continue reading
October 5, 2010 – Can you hear me now?
Today I RID myself of a Sony amplifier. This is the amplifier that, in the past, powered the surround sound speakers I gave away a couple of days ago. Short entry today – as I’m traveling.
October 3, 2010 – Sound, sound everywhere.
Here’s a great set of computer speakers. While they sound great, they are a duplicate set. So, off they go. Looking at these today has given me pause about how much accessorizing of EVERYTHING we do. We buy extra speakers … Continue reading

It’s another travel day for me today…another chance to RID myself of some luggage. I bought this TUMI bag a year or so ago…and I bought it for the style…I like it…a lot. However, the piece just has a couple … Continue reading
September 28, 2010 – Outward dog.
Ah….yoga. I began my yoga practice a couple of years ago…and have really fallen out lately. I received the mat pictured above after a photoshoot where it was used for a prop – I had every good intention of using … Continue reading
September 27, 2010 – Yard tools.
So, I’m really enjoying NOT being in a house right now. After you’ve owned a house, you really enjoy the low maintenance of an apartment again. No yard, someone (most times) to receive your deliveries,…etc. You can spend your weekend … Continue reading
