September 15, 2011 – Robe.
Not really a lot to say about today’s RID. Just a robe it was time to get RID of. Got another one. And I’ll be wearing that one from this moment forward. And…scene.
September 9, 2011 – The perils of digital.
If ever there were a mascot of the RID project, it might be this book. You see, I picked it up in Scotland recently — and after I read a few chapters I realized that I had already bought it … Continue reading
September 2, 2011 – The Red Shoes.
There’s a fine line between fashion and pain. And nothing proves that better than these shoes. I’ve always loved the way they looked…even if they never quite fit me right. So, after a long week in NYC when I walked, … Continue reading
August 24, 2011 – Just a tee.
It occurs to me I probably could have done a “RID a T-shirt a day” project. Not really sure why I held on to this one. It doesn’t really fit me well anymore. It’s a bit tattered. I was never … Continue reading

July 31, 2011 – The final RID? (A note about addiction.)
As I RID this music stand today, I commit to the RID project continuing – although my posts will now be weekly, rather than daily. My learning? The acquisition of STUFF is an addiction (I’d argue for all of us) … Continue reading
July 30, 2011 – T minus one. (Objects are rarely just objects.)
Of the many objects I’ve gotten RID of, the hardest tend to be the ones tied up with memories of people in my past. Like this keyboard. Which belonged to my ex. So, as I RID it today — I … Continue reading
July 29, 2011 – T minus two. (The tyranny of accessories.)
If there’s one thing the RID project has made me think about, it’s the accessories. Like this belt – it’s fine…but really, how many belts should someone own. It’s like the category of “stuff for stuff” – bags to hold … Continue reading
