I would NEVER throw away ANYTHING my wife gave me. (That outta get me some mileage.)

Sorry I’m late to the party – I’m totally with Renate and (the new) Drew on this one. If only I could get you to toss the movie stub. First official date or not, you’ve got the memory, all that stub is doing is taking up space.

You make Renate sound like Winston Wolfe from Pulp Fiction…

Something tells me that your mom is not talking about your Boy Scout uniform hanging in the cedar closet downstairs, Drew. Now there’s a poignant reminder of your youth gone by — and that’s a keeper forever.

But then you couldn’t go downstairs and be reminded of me at any given time. I don’t want to take that away from you.

I’ll send Renate. She’ll have you down to one cardboard box and a suitcase in two days.

This whole project of yours is similar to what I’m going to have to do soon, just to cut down on the amount of stuff I need to move to Ohio. Definitely not looking forward to it – I too tend to accumulate and keep things, because “you never know when you might need it.” I also live with the dread that as soon as I throw something out, I’ll desperately need it a week later, when said government investigator comes a-callin’…

Don’t worry, Weeks – after they take my computer, they’ll bury me on that couch.

But John, the ticket stubs are fun to keep. I sorted through and tossed the ones I didn’t like. And they don’t take up that much room… See that, now you’re enabling me. Enabler!
