I too had a large collection of T-Shirts I never wore. My mother turned them into blankets for me. Now I have a collection of blankets that I never use. The blankets take up more space than the T-shirts did. And now I can never get rid of them because my mother made the blankets. Do yourself a favor and take the T-shirts to Goodwill!
I won't bring up the word "curmudgeonly" as another commenter has. Not curmudgeonly just a routine that is pleasurable. My wife calls me OCD because of my routines that sometimes edge toward curmudgeon-ish.
For the t-shirts that have sentimental value, there are a bunch of companies that will make blankets out of a bunch of shirts, meaning you can keep the memories even if you don’t wear the shirt again. Before my most recent PCS, I sent in probably thirty or forty shirts, and now I have a blanket of high-school shirts, a blanket of college shirts, and a blanket of Navy shirts, all shirts I was unwilling to get rid of but never wore
The Castle had chicken sandwiches in the 1980s? I don’t know why that surprises me but maybe I just figured that while Bonnycastle existed as a dorm back then the “Castle” part of it came later.
We used to live in the SF Bay Area, Palo Alto, where there are only two seasons. Spring and Summer. Two springs and one summer. The seasons of rain and the season of warm.
Very infrequently snow would come to visit. When we wanted to see snow we would visit the ski areas of Tahoe.
I love this post, Bry. I'm relieved Roy Kent AFC Richmond squeaked through this year. I'm positive you'll need it 10-15 years from now. Hold tight. I feel like binlife is a good life--so much potential for expansion. And, hey, I'm definitely going to sing The Good Old Song at your funeral.
Always great to see blind pictures. It is time to get the duckboat ready...

Thanks for making my Monday morning coffee more enjoyable. You are not yet curmudgeonly but tending. I hope to follow the progression weekly.

I have found the first time I get rid of a piece of clothing that isn't necessary, is 3 weeks before I need it.:(
And congratulations on living in a state with more difficult regulations than Ohio.
