Examples of the use of the decision graph:
Snowboard: this one is easy. I haven't used it in two years, and I intend to switch to skiing. The board is hardly used, is still current in model and features. Clearly then, we go with "get rid of" and it is "worth $" "to me" and "will sell locally" as this is Minnesota. So, I listed it on craigslist.com and got multiple offers within a couple hours. The first guy was a no show repeatedly, but the next in line was happy to come over from Wisconsin and pay my asking price in cash.

Jogging Stroller: Emy wasn't happy about it, thanks to fond memories, but it never gets used. It took a bit longer on craigslist, but still sold easily.

AD&D books: yes, I did play this game up until about 6 years ago. They sat and sat on craigslist, and so, my initial suspicion that they would "sell locally" was in fact in correct. So, I should modify the decision graph to point both directions between eBay and craigslist. The lot of books sold easily on eBay.

Box of wood scraps acquired by Bree: we used some of them, but had way more than we needed. Using the graph, we follow "get rid of" - apply own judgment and determine "worth $" to "somebody else" so Bree listed it on freecycle. It hasn't budged, even those there's been some interest. I think this one will soon follow the path of "nobody wants it" - "trash it".

in other news:
I got in my first cross country skiing of the season on the Como golf course. It was wonderful. I've often thought that we lived close enough to ski to/from the loop, but this time I tried it (for the return trip). It wasn't too bad, so hopefully this can be my new winter exercise program, in addition to the indoor climbing and outdoor ice climbing.

Emy is a sledding machine! Last year she got cold pretty quickly, and also she didn't like going too fast. Well, she is now the no fear kid. She even attempted to go down a hill standing up ala snowboard style. She only made it about ten feet, but then she just sat down and rode it out. We took her to some bigger, steeper hills on the Como golf course and she loved it. She had two major wipe outs, one of which she laughed off and the other was a bit too much of a face plant to be funny. But all in all I'd say she inherited her father's braveness (or lack of good sense to be scared)
