I hate the idea that the best pricing in the store wouldn't be extended to me, by default (as is the case with most).<br/><br/>I had a revelation several months ago: I own way, way, way, too many things. This year, the predominant gifts I'm buying (and have asked for) are from "Heifer International". <br/><br/>I set a New Year's goal (early) to eliminate 50% of my belongings in 2008. I'm not joining a cult, just trying to simplify things (and save more money).<br/><br/>Thanks for your excellent blog. I hopeful that you detail your vacation in future entries...
