I found a lot of weird things in the closet, including a box of mini-liquors today, but the weirdest thing I found was a banner my grandparents sent when I was born. It’s SIX METERS tall!
It’s also custom dyed and we thought about putting it in the Goodwill pile until we unfurled it. I gave up a lot of things with strong memories attached to them including clothing from VICA where I actually won first place in the US for a competition in Industrial Electronics. There’s no such thing as the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America any more and I should probably have something to remind me of times when I was actually competing on the world stage, even when it was for something as silly as soldering parts together. But really, a red blazer with a big VICA patch on it? How about just a picture of me with my big 80’s hair wearing the jacket?
Other than that, I made a trip to Goodwill to drop of nine boxes of closet stuff and to Peets to feed my caffeine addiction and finished yet another mystery novel. I suppose that just means I need to get out more.
Yes, how about a picture of you with your big 80’s hair wearing the jacket?
I wonder if you could sell the banner on eBay? It looks beautiful. Someone may want to split it up and frame parts of it. You could do that with a section or two and then you have the bits you like the best and they are out where you can appreciate them.
Give me the damned banner! You people are so not nostalgic about anything! WHY didn’t you let me go through the closet while I was there?? I could save the banner for your children…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
DO NOT SELL THE BANNER ON EBAY. you need to keep that shit and i hope you know that.
