Because I am a lady, I travel about town with a purse filled with stuff — gadgets, cords, toiletries, pens. For its relatively compact size, it’s pretty heavy, and when I walk with it it’s exposed to the elements. Thus this morning, rainy as it was, I decided to test my purse’s necessity for daily…

I carried a small, canvas backpack in Mexico last week. The only contents were sunscreen, sunglasses/case, a sun hat, lip balm, hair things, comb, room key, phone and Kindle. It weighed nothing.

I got home from vacation, looked at my purse and said to Jay, “What is all this crap?” Note: I am carrying all the crap anyway.
