I kept copies of almost every magazine I ever worked for. They filled up boxes and boxes in the basement. Now I'm getting rid of them. I'm even selling some of them on ebay.

Oddly, I find this harder than throwing away my personal notes. These, you see, have been seen by other people. They are thus, somehow, more concrete. More real.

What is purely private is like a fantasy. It may dismissed, dissolved, murdered...and no one is the wiser. There are no witnesses to threaten retribution.
