So I took four bags of my clothes in garbage bags from the spare room upstairs.

I found two pair of wearable pants (good, since I was down to one) and a passel of wearable polos. Also, I found my bathrobes and a pair of shorts.

I put away something like ten pair of pants that I don't fit into, but are close enough that I might someday, and about twenty shirts. I also have a bag of "lots" that should probably go up to Goodwill: stuff that is much too big or too small or I'm just never going to wear again.

I also have a collection of about 12-15 garments of Logowear(tm): button down or polo shirts, one fleece and one jacket with an emroidered logo on the left breast. These items really need to go but are all in good shape and represent a catalog of every company I've worked for in my entire life, with the exceptions of the University of Michigan and Dakota Imaging. I have other items which represent those, but they aren't relevant here.

I'm fairly seriously considering selling the Logowear(tm) off on eBay. The vast majority of these shirts represent companies that went bankrupt recently, and a few were newsworthy ones. I just feel a bit like Wayne ("Game On!") with his collection of hairnets. That parallel between the food service industry and the Dot Com era is something that I don't think most of my coworkers would appreciate, but it's still true.

In any case, all of my stuff basically fits in the closet now, which is a big step up from clothes in bags all over the house. I still need a little more space for things-that-fold, but this is good progress.
