Artifacts from a time of..innocence?
My sister sent me a box of stuff out of the storage space I left behind in Chicago. Most of it is highly silly and useless bits of nonsense relating to various Chicago Cubs (oh thank goodness I didn't lose my Walt Moryn autograph...?? Why would I save something like that? But the Sammy Sosa one, that I throw away..), a Regatta de Blanc album (an actual LP..) which I had no idea I ever possessed, and this little gem that will be of interest to two people at the most:
(Click on the picture girls if you want to see it in fuller detail but I'm sure you can tell from even this small picture exactly WHAT this is!! )
Yes, not as innocent as we'd like to believe we were at 12 years old! But we can state for the record that no one reading this blog is the author of this useful glossary, so if anything this is the document that would actually mark the point where we started losing our naive innocence.
If I come across any more gems like this I'll scan it in for posterity. I know I had a single sheet of The Story but I haven't seen it in quite awhile. It might be forever lost but, we'll always have this.. :-D

You know, I'm pretty sure I've got some gems in a hope chest at my dad's house. It's pretty much a time capsule of sorts, but to be honest, I'm kinda scared to look through it now. Good thing my mom has covered it in an old tapestry (of horses, I think.... very 70's decor) and some dolls. I don't dare touch a think or else there'll be hell to pay. Someday, though, I'll be brave enough to waddle through it all and share what treasure I find.
You should! I mean, what can there possibly be to be afraid or ashamed of? Look at Cho-Cho's wedding picture for goodness sake. You can barely tell who the bride is! Imagine this photo on your mantle of YOUR wedding. Kind of embarassing, n'est-ce pas?
