Regarding his stories entitled "Stuff, " Joseph Galasso writes, "I have tried simply to be honest. I have no goal, save a selfish one. I write solely to provide a laugh or tear to my loved ones. When I'm gone, what I say may offer additional insight into my likes and dislikes, my shortcomings and, if any, my struggles. My hope then is that their memory of me will be more complete and, perhaps, more lasting.
