Breaking Up is Hard to Do

In an effort to reduce clutter and eliminate things I'm no longer using, I sold a bike last night. I should feel some sort of zen-harmony or lightness-of-being, but it just feels like I've lost a reliable old friend. The guy I sold the bike to seemed enthusiastic, said he drove 1.5 hours to check it out and got in touch with me the first day I posted the for-sale listing, so hopefully the new owner will be a good one. He also said he's had 3 bikes stolen in the past 6 months, so who knows? Sigh.
