Don't even get me started about all the "stuff" that we have been programmed to purchase and acquire. It's literally a 2 hour rant! LOL. So glad you are pretty much done moving into your new home! I'm sure the process has been intense, but also satisfying due to the purging you have been doing along the way. That BK cup is wild btw! Amazing how relatively intact it is after all these years. Booooo Styrofoam.
Congratulations on the final load; great read, Heath. You may know that Travis has been involved with the "Stop Shopping Church headed by Rev. Billy in NYC. (The Church's Choir along with the Rev. were the opening act last month on Neil Young's "Love Earth Tour." Travis was along doing video etc.)
This morning I came across this Henry David Thoreau quote "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes." Another reason not to buy. It was in a great new cookbook "The Secret of Cooking" by Bee Wilson (library edition.)
Lastly, thanks for the Alice Waters podcast. I've not yet listened, but I love that she ties in Montessori. Alice taught at Berkeley Montessori up until just a few months before Jenny started pre-school there. And Travis's cousin Eli was attending the Berkeley elementary school when Alice started the school garden program. It was wonderful and very touching
Thanks Aunt Barb! I was actually going to send you the Alice Waters interview separately, as so much of what she was saying reminded me of you. How funny that you have so many close encounters to the education side of her career! Jen and Travis turned me on to Rev. Billy's work when I saw them in NYC last fall, and he's right up my alley, as is that Thoreau quote! I drive by Thoreau's stomping grounds nearly daily in Concord.

A two hour rant about stuff sounds right up my alley, Rob!

Didn't expect the BK cup to show up.
Me either! It was quite a find, in so many ways!
