Oof it's been a while since I posted, but that's because I took a little sojourn to Uganda. Before I set off though, I had moment of foresight. In anticipation of making dear friends with whom I would want to leave a farewell gift in appreciation of their friendship, I brought along some of my superfluous frugan niceties. Plus, I always like to give a gift with a little more utility than flowers or cards or chocolate. Pictured above are a digital camera from the NYU dumpster and a tape recorder from the Columbia post-graduation dump. Also, yummy mens cologne and lotion that someone had left behind in the Business Class goodie bag on Emirates. The happy camper Brother Andrew writes, "Thank you very much for my gifts which you gave me i am still very happy I now know how to use both the camera and the Re coda, at first I could use it with out a flash but now i am ok." So much better than gifting the landfill.
