I prefer to think of it as freedom from maintaining 'things', not surrender.

Stuff, man. Something to think about.
I used to define my self (in my mind) by what I owned and by my job. When your job disappears and you get divorce then you think hard about what defines you. And it's nothing material. I have several 911's. They sit unused in storage. For what?

Let's just say that the local team is our of the playoffs so there will be octopus on the ice this year.
