So what stays and what goes? Well, this will have to stay. It's an old business card from way back in pre-1989 Berlin.

This goes. I figure nobody cares that I was pool champion at JAROC in 1987."

I'm saving this -- an old membership card for Videothek Steglitz in the days before "Blockbusters."

I'm saving this, too. I've had it since 1977 and use it as a coaster.

This is going. A gift for Valentine's Day. Slap it down on its bottom and it says, "Happy, yeah... Whatever."

I am not throwing out any old pictures.

This is staying -- another Cold War memento. A "Feliks Dzierzynzki" award from the Bezirksverwaltung für Staatssicherheit, Karl-Marx-Stadt..
And of course I'm keeping the flag, too.

I'm keeping this, too -- I've got a thing for old ID's.

This is my German driver's license -- I'm keeping it. You just never know.

Does this picture make me look old?
