haha.... boyish fantasies are sooooo samey after a while. LOL. But the guitars? You're vehicle for touching and vibrating emotion are gone and all you are left with is expensive but ubiquitous hotel furniture - eg a place to stay but not a home. The absence of the touch-feel symbolized by guitar is no longer a home.

Being reminded of broken promises? LOL... I think I would very much like your ex wife, speaking up for disappointed children. :)
