Chaplin, Anyone?

First off, many thanks to Grace, for the nice words...

Kind of got caught up in the Thanksgiving holiday, haven't had much of a chance to make a dent in the sum of my material possessions.

Tonight, however, I finally got the last of the books that I was willing to part with, and head on over to Half Price Books (thank goodness for them!). I dropped off 36 books, including 19 on Charlie Chaplin! Some of them must have been pretty rare, because they gave me $29 this time! {That comes to 80 cents a book! Not too shabby...}

That still leaves me with 102 books, including 27 autographed books. I hope in the next week or so to rid myself of all but the autographed books.

My major project for 2011 will be to reduce my computer data to what can be held in a couple of external hard drives. I currently have something like 500 CD's and DVD's that are just pictures, old programs, countless backups from the 6 computers I've owned over the last 20 years. Although bulky, I should be able to get them all into a single Terabyte Hard Drive. Just going to take a couple of dedicated weekends.
