Time Wounds All Heels

So the other day when I was looking for documentation of my early geekishness, I brought down from the attic two boxes labelled "keepsakes and misc. stuff" -- which is to say, an assortment of things that I didn't want to throw out but that I could think of no earthly reason to have everyday access to. Following my life-cleaning principles, I'm now sifting through the contents with a mind to putting the stuff I want to keep where it will be more accessible and getting rid of stuff I have no reason to keep. I have formed a new principle: by definition, an object is not "memorabilia" if you can't for the life of you remember why you're keeping it. ( What sorts of memorabilia might I be talking about? )

Well, that's probably enough for this session. Next, I may tackle the "box of assorted rocks and shells that no doubt commemorate some important event from my youth".
