Hey, What Gives?

I dreamed I found my old tapes from high school & college at my parents’ place

…and it turned out I wasn’t even dreaming.

I had no idea these still existed. A lot of them I carted with me to Seattle in 1995, and I guess I forgot I sent them back to my parents’ place when I moved back in 2000.
