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.
A couple of days ago, I RID a thesaurus. Today, my second dictionary of the RID project. I think this illustrates a major story arc of the project. When I started, I felt like, “Okay, I can give away a … Continue reading
July 6, 2011 – I never worked in food service.
I had a lot of jobs growing up. Bookkeeper. Shoe salesperson. Hardware store employee. Telemarketing supervisor. Farm hand. But, somehow I never worked food service. That’s why I found this book so enjoyable. To go behind the scenes, and appreciate … Continue reading
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.

July 1, 2011 – The Royal Tenenbaums.
Really loved this movie. But, it’s not exactly one you’d want to watch over and over again. Well, at least I wouldn’t. Atop the RID pile it goes. And room is made for something new to watch…
June 30, 2011 – CDs, the Y’s.
End of the month…it’s a CD day! Today, the Y’s. Only two to discuss… Neil Young – it’s amazing how young, how relevant, how cutting-edge this guys stays. While Bob Dylan seems to age almost daily, Neil just keeps on … Continue reading
June 29, 2011 – Where are the great humorists today?
I loved Spy magazine…it’s been so long since it was published…I wish someone would breathe life back into it. For those of you who don’t remember Spy was a humor magazine that really took on the world, our culture-driven celebrity, … Continue reading
