I got up Sunday morning, watched a YouTube interview with Lee Marvin on the Dick Cavett Show, and immediately felt like a dick for being surprised that he was intelligent.

That's where this one starts.

From there we end up in your closet. Literally. Go open it. Look at what's in there. And ask yourself one question — why did I buy that?

I'll tell you what I found when I asked myself. I spend a shit ton of money on electronics without blinking. New MacBook Pro, SSD, trackball mouse, the whole ecosystem. But clothes? My wife had to make me get new jeans because I had holes in mine that weren't supposed to be there.

Turns out there's a reason for that. Goes all the way back to elementary school, Sears Tough Skins, and my mother taking the hem out of my already high-water pants so they'd last another season. That little white line where the color had washed out. The patch that never matched. Kickball in pants so tight I couldn't move anyway.

You don't know you're poor until you know.

And once you know, you either stop buying things or you buy everything you didn't have — and then wonder why you never wear it.

This is what our closets are actually about. Not fashion. Not status. The conversation we never had with ourselves about why we value what we value and where that came from.

Doc Martens, charity shops, bedazzled jeans, and the English-made versus everything-else debate also make an appearance. It's a Sunday Stroll. That's how this works.
