 Notes on an overheard conversation about weird collections left behind by the
                               death of a parent
                                        
“How did your mother end up with that movie in her collection?” 

“I don't know … maybe she liked it.” 

“Or maybe someone gave it to her as a gift.” 

“Maybe. In any case, that's how I ended up with it.” 

“Reminds me of when my Dad died [1]. See all these boxes [2]?” 

“Oh no … ” 

“They're all full of CD (Compact Disc)s.” 

“Anything good in there? What type of music?” 

“New Age and aromatherapy music. Even the used CD store I found didn't want
them [3].” 

“That's a ‘Cult In The Desert’ kit right there.”
