A Whole New World (of Motorcycle Expo!)
This was only my second year being involved with the Expo. Now that I live in London, and with the Show Director, I’m steeped in it.

Everything In Its Place – Even Junk Should Have Its Own Drawer – “House Proud”, The Toronto Sun
Many organization experts claim there is no need to collect all that stuff we lovingly call “junk.” For them, it’s a black-and-white issue. They reason that if you have everything in its place, you don’t need to keep a collection of stuff that doesn’t belong together. And they have zero tolerance for anything that resembles a junk drawer.
