My wife demanded that I remove some materials that, it turns out, had been hanging around for more than a decade! So, I put 'em in my basement "Footlocker o' Mem'ries." Tried not to spend too much time lingering, but it is ALWAYS strange to revisit past versions of one's life. In college, I was a lefty libertine. In the army, I was an off-beat professional. Grad skool found me a reationary right-winger (academia really has gone whack-o, though). And now I find myself well along in the role of parent, a path that I swore I would never take, and I find that I love it! The box contains all of this--letters and writings dating back to adolescence; collegiate musings; military missives; photos of long-lost friends and lovers. I know the box is there, yet now is not the time to review it--or cull it. Your warning re:mildew, however, may require some inspection. Also: your photos are a little more interesting than mine!

The box contains all of this–letters and writings dating back to adolescence; collegiate musings; military missives; photos of long-lost friends and lovers. I know the box is there, yet now is not the time to review it–or cull it.
