Old Stuff

I've met very few people who don't enjoy some activity related to old stuff. It also seems to me lots of couples share a passion for similar old stuff. How closely do you and your partner fit this model?

I know several couples who routinely spend the whole day antiquing together. Store to store they go, two peas in a pod. I've also heard folks describe what a charge they get out of watching "Antique Road Show" together. For still others I've known, Saturday mornings are carved out for garage or yard sales.

Though my wife and I part ways on those examples above, whenever we find ourselves alone with time on our hands in a new place, even money you'll find us side-by-side if a pile of musty books is anywhere nearby. And on the rare occasions she's able to convince me to tag along when she goes antiquing with others  - zero chance she'll get me to a garage or yard sale - she never has to look far. I'm either by the books or the old LPs, one pea in a pod, but just as happy with my old stuff as others are with theirs.
