    The things we save

    A few years back, I was tasked with sorting through a handful of boxes containing various stuff my mother has saved over the years, and to decide what to keep, if anything, and what to dump. Like the good son that I am, I ignored this task and instead tucked the boxes away into a storage unit. Now I’m finally getting around to it, and I’ve found some neat things which I will share here in a stunning photo essay.

    A pastel portrait of me drawn inĀ France, well the version of France in Orlando, Florida at Disney’s Epcot Center. It was from a family vacation in 1991. It has not fared very well.

    The awkward, teenaged version of myself. I’m less awkward these days, but not by much!
