In the process of cleaning-out my aunt’s apartment, we’ve been finding vast quantities of audiobooks – at least 50 so far.
I’m putting them up on eBay a few per day, available here, if anyone is interested. If anyone in the Triangle area is interested, and doesn’t mind waiting a couple weeks for delivery, I’ll waive [...]

I’m looking forward to going to a different customer next week, and a different one the [...]

I just found out my aunt died sometime between Saturday night and this morning.
She didn’t call-in to work to say she’d be out, so one of her coworkers checked on her – and she didn’t answer the phone, so my dad, her older brother, went to her apartment to find out what was wrong. He [...]
