Continuing down the clean-up

I decided that I must go through a box a day. It's incredible what you find. So far, I have found a few pairs of shoes that I thought were lost forever and about 150 lbs of glass. The craziest thing is that I roughly know what is in each box due to its age.

I am not kidding when I have 15 years of stuff to go through. All I have done from move to move is to pack everything up and store it somewhere. Some stuff I have collected. Other stuff get put in boxes with a mental "I will organize later" label on it. I found one of those boxes and had to laugh.

In this box was the following.....
- Some knives used in torchworking
- One cylinder of moretti glass taken from an Italian chandelier
- A Pimsleur "How to speak Russian" thing that I bought about 3 years ago and didn't open
- Two bags of papers and what-nots from about 2 years ago

It was entertaining to open and clear through this box. So, this box sorting task should be fun.

What now?

Now that I'm leaving the Bay Area in July, I am beginning to sift through about 15 years of stuff and decide what goes, what stays and what can disappear. It's a bit odd to identify somethings as "now useless".
