Attainable accomplishments in tool belts

Today is the perfect day for this.

It is the perfect day to cuddle up with an old box of memories or junk or whatever else gets collected in old boxes. Just go through it, throw some stuff away, pull some other stuff out into your regular stuff rotation, and pack the rest away. Maybe it's old baseball cards, or pictures, or a box of spare robot parts that you've been meaning to assemble, but darn it, just haven't found the time.

This is a step toward the nostalgic, but one that gets you headed towards somewhere practical, too. Birds, meet stone.

The reasons we all collect stuff are plentiful, and probably well documented. But it isn't enough simply to collect it, I think we need to wash ourselves in it. To experience exactly why we saved whatever it is we saved, or perhaps to find new reasons to hang on to or enjoy said items.
