Kitchen Remodel Provokes Memories
We're having our kitchen redone. And before the new floor, cabinets, counters, and appliances go in, the old ones have to be torn out.

Noooooo! That kitchen was was... was... full of character! OK, I admit that it kinda needed remodelling, but there is no way a new, efficient, soulless new kitchen is going to be like the old one! Bwaaahhhh!

Alan, I can absolutely see the parallels. I hope you can also see the differences in intent and effect.
