    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    Entertainment for half an hour. I took an old composition book with lots of blank pages, some magazines, scissors, and a glue stick. I cut out pictures that caught my eye and then glued them onto pages in creative arrangements. Doodled a couple of notes about what I liked about them. Voila! A "gluebook" (there's a yahoo group and flickr pics out there on these)

    Everything I already had in the house. Next time I might just draw doodles around a picture with crayons to jazz it up.
