But not forgotten
If I had the time (or energy) I'd start a photo blog dedicated to lost and discarded toys and call it The Velveteen Blog.

All good things must...they just must
This wallet has been sitting on my coffee table for a week now.
After carrying this bad boy around with me for three years, I officially retired it last week and since then haven't been able to throw it away. I certainly don't want it anymore. It's on its last legs. But I realized this afternoon that I just need to acknowledge what this wallet means to me before I send it off.
I bought this wallet at a dollar store, of all places. But it was in a dollar store in Japan, on the very first day of a 3 month sabbatical that I consider to be the start of...something good? Healing? Revolutionary? Let's just say my life has changed drastically since that day.
Anyway, this wallet has seen me through Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, New Orleans, Milwaukee, Toronto, San Francisco and Austin. It's been with me through three moves, three jobs and many boys. It held important moments in my life - from my food stamps debit card to tickets to see my favorite podcast.
And it's been mine - because let's be honest. NOBODY else has a PINK faux alligator skin wallet.
Goodbye friend! Thanks for your years of service.
And with the end of an era comes the start of a new one. I wonder where this guy will see me go!
