Good morning, all.

If I’ve found one thing to be true, it’s that stuff happens. And happens. And happens.

Seriously, I’m not an obsessive collector (outside of my St. Louis Cardinals baseball cards), a hoarder or overly sentimental. I’m careful with our money, never one to buy much on a whim or because I was told to do so by a commercial during “Lost”. But despite all that, I somehow have collected a lot of stuff in my life. Glad to know I’m not alone.

Don’t know if you’ve stumbled across this or not, but a small Internet-only film called “The Story of Stuff” has been gaining momentum for months now. It’s a charming short film of 20 minutes which examines, well, where all our stuff comes from and where it goes. Take a few moments off to watch it here. A related chunk:
