Much Ado About a Dog Bed Nov 01, 2020

Show notes

In This Episode of People with Parents…I made the executive decision to throw away an old dog bed, which is not as easy as it sounds. (It never is, is it?)

Watch the video, here.

I've started the physically and emotionally arduous task of cleaning out My Parents things. It's not just clutter. It's making decisions about the things that they thought were important. Or things they never got around to throwing away and now I have to. So I'm clearing the clutter and finding the funny.

Escaping the Sentimental Trap... This Time Oct 25, 2020

Show notes

In This Episode of People with Parents…Was originally done as a YouTube video. Watch it here.

I've started the physically and emotionally arduous task of cleaning out My Parents things. It's not just clutter. It's making decisions about things that they thought were important. Or things they never got around to throwing away and now it's my job. But I'm also managing to find the funny.

Cleaning out the garage I found a treasure trove of tire irons, an empty box, and yes: my 10th grade geometry math homework. So, if you enjoy the audio in this episode, please be sure to check out the video.
