The stuff, Day 52

I have a lot of cups. Most are old. This one... From Mardi Gras 2010, is among the young. I looked at it just now and thought just one thing... "Get outta my dreams..." Which made me feel old as... Continue Reading →

The stuff, Day 51

A "Kum & Go" plastic coffee mug. I first stumbled upon a Kum & Go when driving cross country with Adriana. Years later, the store was mythical in stories. Not much Googling at that point. Then, as with much of... Continue Reading →

The stuff, Day 37

Life interrupted again, as a trip to the ER with my son (allergic reaction to food) took me out of the purge mindset... More useless VHS tapes today. In my old footlocker. Should be plenty else there too...
