Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Rooting for GB, but damn that was a nice catch.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jesse, my office has contacts with a tape recycler - I can get the info for you on Tuesday if you're interested.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

So what do I do with old videotapes?

eBay as a lot or several lots
Donate to a local library
Sell at a yardsale
Donate to Goodwill or the like organization
Donate to a local school (most will take G, PG and PG-13)
plus all the other ideas suggested...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, that would be great, Jess. It's probably not even 20 tapes, if that makes a difference. And msbelle, they include musical hearthrobs of the 90s (LL Cool J, Johnny Gill, I forget who else), and some Buffy. So, probably not to Mac's taste.

Oh! I do have a couple of Schoolhouse Rock, if you want those. (America Rock and Grammar Rock.)

Yep. For example: at my parents' in suburban TX - grocery stores have recycling containers for plastic bags and give a credit for bringing in cloth bags. Plus I am pretty sure they take more types of plastic than we do in NYC (we take ONLY bottles and jugs that are #1 and #2).

I seriously thought my parents had turned into dirty hippies when I saw their reusable grocery bags. But no! Apparently that kind of thing is all the rage in other places.
