Oct. 21st, 2012 04:20 pmThank you everyone who offered your condolences. I do really appreciate it.
So tired. We spent Wed-Sat night at my mother-in-law's house, trying to clean it out. We got major inroads done. All of the closets, the utility room, most of the kitchen and master-bath, almost half of the office.
I've got boxes and boxes of papers still to sort through. There would be stacks of bills and graded school papers, and in between suddenly an autographed photo of some Star Trek guy, or one of the few surviving pics of Sam's dad, or an incredibly important document. I have to go through every single paper.
The hardest thing to decide on is her photographs. She was a convention photographer for the last 30 years or so. She's got boxes and cases and drawer after drawer of photographs, most of them candid shots of just about any sci-fi or fantasy star you could imagine. Like hundreds of Marina Sirtis. Hundreds of Lucy Lawless, tons and tons of the guy who played Data. Mostly 5X7s and if she liked a photo she would print out 30 or so on 8x10. How the hell do you sell such a thing? I don't want to do singles. Would fans buy like "300 photos of _celebrity_, possibly some duplicates"? I don't even know.
