Nyback is an inspiration, a person who found a life and lived it.

I remember him telling the story about how ages ago when he would accumulate too much stuff he would hold an estate sale, tell visitors a relative died, and then watch people pick over all his belongings. And he had more than one such sale. I have no idea if that was true but I sometimes think about it and if I would ever have the courage to part with most of my items like that (probably not).
