Serendipitous Superfluity

I stayed at my good friend Aaron's place place to crash for a couple nights. Recovering from some difficult meds and a legion other stressors makes you feel like you are recovering from the dead to rediscover your internal metronome. Helping clean his father's home felt oddly better. Here's what I sent Aaron after I was able to return home.

Our church is still taking donations for the University Congregational Church serendipity sale. Let me know if you'd like any help moving your stuff from your dad's house. Superfluity staff are great help at picking your stuff up at your place. Just arrange a time. I know that Art was a hoarder and I and the church superfluity staff would like to help. Here's the church info:
