I have a Yale - Dartmouth hockey ticket stub on my nightstand. It is there because we went to the game last weekend with Kevin, Maxine, and Jens. We were on the guest list because Jens is good friends with one of the players and was able to get us all in for free. We had some spicy dinner at a Thai restaurant. Then we went for ice cream. After the game we went for coffee/tea. Jens told us all about his upcoming trip around the world. Kevin and Maxine talked about their new puppy and Kevin's recent trip to California.
It was great to see those guys and since I have some kind of proof that I actually went out and did something, I keep the evidence. I would put it in the box that I keep for that sort of stuff, but it's all taped up from the move. Besides, it is overstuffed already. Why keep it at all? I would probably forget that any of it ever happened if I threw out the ticket stub. I have such a terrible memory. I guess the idea is that someday, when I'm older, I will go through all those things and think about all the fun times I had. This will never happen. I know it won't happen, and yet I still have the box.
I should just write things like this on weblogs like this one so I can go back, read, and remember the things like this. I could even scan the ticket stub and post it. That way I can throw it out and clear of my nightstand for more important things liked stuffed animals or something.
