Hi everyone. Well, as you probably already read in the headline, I tossed my coffee cup collection in the garbage last night. In my heart, I knew it was time!

Yesterday afternoon I was cleaning my kitchen and after going through all my dirty dishes (a grubby-looking array of dirty plates, glasses and silverware that was definitely worse than the October mess), I looked over at the cluttered pile of coffee cups placed around the microwave. In an instant, I decided they needed to go!

Now I am sure some of you are quite happy about this recent action and frankly, I am pleased too. The job hunt has gotten me a little more introspective about my life and I am becoming more sensitive to things that are cluttering up my life, both physically and spiritually.

Also, I have good reason to believe mold was growing inside some of the cups and that's a sanitary issue right there. Oh, directly to the right is a picture of the garbage bag that contains all the coffee cups. Notice the old hardwood floor in the kitchen ... I LOVE IT!

In closing, thank you for all your support as I embarked upon a new hobby, the fun of collecting cups and coffee containers that I drank from. The total came out to 48 cups. Woo-hoo!

Now does anyone have a new idea for my next online hobby? What should I collect next? :)

Love, Steve :)

P.S. Today is the birthday of my younger brother Mark. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK!
