THe truth is that nothing whatsoever DID matter until we traipsed into your lives. And you have no idea of the effort it takes to get rid of those crass and often disgusting items that accompany a new spouse into the nice, clean new apartment. After 21 years, Dan still owns his high school letter jacket AND his college letter sweater, several highschool and college baseball jerseys, and for some reason, a Harvard baseball shirt that he refuses to throw away even though it's full of holes. Is that weird? Not only did he not attend Harvard, I don't think W&L even played them in baseball. I had to move an old chair out of the house by degrees; it took about ten years and sat in the garage for a long time. He would go sit in it and smoke his pipe, looking forlorn. The Salvation Army refused to take it. The trashmen didn't even want to take it, but I called their supervisor. ANd what is this attachment to posters? No- really- the living room would not look better with a giant poster of Dwight Gooden over the couch. A stein from Munich I could handle, but the plastic Budweiser mugs that sit so arrogantly next to the crystal wine goblets are next on my hit list. They must go soon. Then there are the two dozen gameballs that roll off the bedroom shelves periodically. If I make the mistake of saying, "Do you really NEED these?", I get to hear a pitch by pitch description of every game. We are driven to that furtive, devious behavior by sheer desperation.
