Although Andrew and I were glad to see it go, Steve was quite upset. How does one say good-bye to something that has meant so much and has brought so many fond memories. Let's just say it was forced upon him. You see, the infamous chair was kept in Andrew's already too small bedroom. Not only did it take up much needed space but it also clashed with the decorating theme. How does a green easy chair fit into Air Force blue and WWII airplane wallpaper? Secretively, I think that Steve was upset that Andrew had chosen an Air Force theme over an Army theme that's why he insisted that the chair remain. Again Air Force superiority has over-ruled. Do you think I'm wrong with this thinking? Some would argue that a piece of furniture from as far back as university days was kept to keep the owner young. Or perhaps it was that ever-so-heard of line: "I'm not going to let having children change me. Things will remain the same". But let's face it, we all have to grow up some time and having children requires many sacrifices. You may leave a comment of condolences to Steve or you might like to break it to him gently (not what I chose to do) and let him know that life goes on and he can survive without the chair.

The chair may have been mercilessly relegated to the landfill with only callous regard for the feelings of others. However I must recognize that some people are mere victims of our unfeeling, throw away society. Instead of seeking retribution, I must show compassion and mercy to these unfortunate souls.
The Martyred Green Chair shall be remembered not as a symbol of wonton disregard, but instead of a benevolent pity for transgressors.
Besides... I better behave myself. Who knows what (or who) will be thrown away next!!
