Wonderful faux-son made a huge dent in the storage shed, and we just did a quick walkthrough to see what I wanted to keep of what's left and what is to go to other fates (recycling, trash, thrift store). My god, my beloved was a pack rat. The objectively interesting stuff is in the garage, and I have several days of looking at things to decide fates. Many boxes of comics. Some game stuff that has never been used which should do well on eBay. A very old Atari system, and an ancient Mac that lived in a backpack, one of the old cube ones with the itty bitty screens. It was portable, see the backpack. The keyboard is in a separate pouch velcroed to the backpack. Hubby saw it many years ago, thought it was cool. "Honey, can I?" I had no defense against.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do you guess remember when Joss had a baby, we sent him handknitted gifts (as well as a book donation. Ann Weber knit a blanket, and I knit a sweater, and I think someone else made a little hat. I know my sweater was mostly orange wool.
Does anyone remember what the hat looked like? I just was reading the chapter on Firefly that has been exerpted from the new Joss bio, and got to thinking-- did we inspire Jayne's hat?

Hey, I have been successfully keeping up with my TV watching this week!
Sometimes my personal goals are really dumb, but it still feels good to achieve them.
I'm glad you are making progress, Connie. That is not a project I have tackled, yet.
I'm so glad your faux-son is stepping up to do this. Best of all, this stuff will get a chance to get into the hands of people who will really appreciate it.
Kind of like how I felt about donating great piles and piles of Mom's clothes and shoes to the Good Will store in PA where I'd gotten so many great finds, it was a way of paying forward.
Faux son would have sent more to the trash, but he knows Hubby would have wanted stuff to have a use.
Somebody will be so happy to get that stuff.
Day off, yay! I got to sleep in a little bit, and now I'm going for a run in the woods.
Going through stuff like that is just so hard.
Doing it with someone(s) was so much easier, which made it rather a social/family occasion to remember the person, almost fun at times.
