On a more banal note, we’re struggling to find some happy medium between the sheer amount of crap we own (camping gear, cycling gear, snowboard gear, 5 bikes, 2 tables, 1 tv, 2 computers, a pile of books, videogames, dvds, a blender, a toaster, a fruitbowl, an espresso machine, even more books, CDs, tools, approximately 40lbs of bric-a-brac, 6 cameras of varying vintage, and a partridge in a pear tree). What to do?
