That's not entirely true, Steve. I collect experiences, and through my experiences, friends (albeit on a highly curated basis). <G>

Steve is correct, though, in that I gave up the collecting bug a long, long time ago. I ditched almost everything way back in 2006. If I buy something today, I have plans to build it pretty **** much immediately.

Having seen friends and family suffer through the disposal of Way Too Much Stuff, my wife and I seek to minimize clutter. While I do not plan on going to my great reward for several decades yet, our daughter knows that the only physical objects of mine that she needs to hang on to are my FAI medal, Speedmaster, Kamaka ukulele, and Hasselblad lenses. Anything else she is welcome to tip into a dumpster.
