A few days ago I was cleaning out a bunch of old scrap wood from behind my shed. (The ryoken is currently under construction). And I found some speakers that I had bought from my friend Lieb. Michael Lieberman is one of the reasons I started outreachforthefinishline.com. he committed suicide a few years ago and I race cars and take people with depression to the race track. The speakers were destroyed. The wood had been soaked by rain and snow. I didn’t know they were in the pile of wood. I thought about saving them, rebuilding them. But the speakers were rusted, and blown. The wood rotten. I said my goodby and sent them to be recycled.

Our memories are not in the material objects we hold onto. They are in our minds.

I remember learning to DJ with Lieb using those speakers. And I will never forget that.
