I've got so much junk ... that i wouldnt be able to pick ...
i'd just sit there blubbering - watching the fire.
I think the think I'd try to save is the computer with all of the pictures of my kid.
There is also a dresser thingy full of the non digital photos.. i'd try to save that.
and if i had the time.. i have a huge stamp collection that i had when i was a kid .. not because it's a prized possession - but its worth money.
the flipside is that loosing everything material (esp. for a guy like me) would be kind of liberating ... it's not as if I'd even bother to start over again...
If you want to get all zen about it .. material things really mean nothing at all in the long run .. mo matter how dear or valuable they seem now .. it doesnt mean anything once you're in the ground.
but i hope that choice making day never comes because i do enjoy the shit i've collected over the years - and i hope to pass it all onto my son... to either enjoy or sell off..
