Join me this week as I broadcast from the lobby of the Hotel Ambassador in Bern, Switzerland! Hear about my trip to France and Switzerland with a new and good friend of mine who had never been to Switzerland!

One of the best ways to get some of the junk out of your life is to travel. I was in Bern, Switzerland in 1979. What a joy to return some 46 years later!

Shout outs include the Norse Airlines 787 jet, Cane’s restaurant in Times Square, and the Eurailpass! The trains in Europe are fascinating!

I left Washington DC Tuesday afternoon at 4 PM, went to Times Square, Paris, Bern and Geneva, Switzerland, then back to Paris and back to Newark New Jersey plus a final Amtrak train back to Washington. I was back in Washington at 12 o’clock on Saturday and was back to work at 2 PM! It’s amazing what you can do with travel in the world today!

Enjoy this adventure hopefully as much as I did!

Every once in a while, something great just happens to you. You can’t plan for it; it just drops in your path. That’s what happened to me on August 23, 2025.

I passed a young lady walking away from her car which had stopped on the side of the freeway. We did a U-turn, went back and met her, to make sure she was OK. She had a flat tire, so I helped her out and fixed it. That led to two of the funnest weeks of my life!

Enjoy this wonderful episode as I share with you some of the joys that have come into my life recently. It’s all the result of a small act of service.

One of the best ways to get some of the “junk” out of your life is to focus on someone else. You’ll be blessed if you do!

Join me this week as I broadcast from the Costco parking lot across from the I-66 transfer station in Fairfax, Virginia!

Learn how to avoid craigslist scams as some people try to do with us in Greensboro North Carolina recently. Here are the things to look for that are clues that you’re working with a scammer:

1. They come after higher-priced items.
2. They tell you they want to purchase your item without looking at it first. 
3. They are “traveling” or are “out of the country on business” which is why they can’t come look at your item. 
4. They want to pay you with a cashiers check or money order. 
5. After you cash it, they will have a moving company come and get the item. 
6. They explain they are buying the item for a family member as a gift.

If any of these items surface, you are probably being scammed!! BEWARE!!

This week, we also talk about items that we’ve recently sold, including 800 Sports Illustrated magazines and four mannequins from a boutique shop! 

We also briefly discussed cats, the No Kings movement, and how a young lady recently made herself comfortable in a setting that most people would find uncomfortable! She has self-esteem!

Join me for this weeks episode which came out live from Brooklyn New York! I’m here for my second trip to help an Orthodox Jewish family declutter their apartment before moving later this month.

The driveways are narrow in Brooklyn. I was lucky to find a parking place! We hauled away a number of vintage clocks which we’re putting up for sale.

I was thrilled when the client moved the appointment from Wednesday to Thursday, because my BYU Cougars are playing in the NCAA March Madness regional tournament in Newark, New Jersey Thursday night!

The drive to Brooklyn is about four hours from Rockville, Maryland. I took my pick up truck this time, the last time I took a box truck. I also went by myself this time. Last time I had one of our guys with me. 

I ended up loading the pick up truck with a bunch of boxes of books and a few bookshelves. It fit perfectly! Then I drove over to Newark, bought some pizza, and went to the Prudential Center for March Madness!
