Recently, my wife has reminded me that we have to go through our closet and finally get rid of some of the clutter that has amassed there through the years. Below is a short list of some of the things I found.
A big blue "w", reminding me I actually lettered in something in high school.
The Official Preppy Handbook. I think I have had my copy since the fall of 1981,<
Three unredeemed lottery scratch-off tickets. One each from Maryland, Delaware and New York. Winnings totaling four dollars.
Thirty-five shoes. Shouldn't this be an EVEN number?
Five navy blazers. Four single-breasted, one double-breasted. Three with stains, one missing a button or three, and one just perfect.
A cardboard box from Neiman Marcus. I have never purchased anything from Neiman Marcus, nor do I know anyone who can afford to shop there.
A parking ticket from 1995.
Hangers. Lots of wire hangers, grouped together in one side of the closet, their little hooks intertwined.
A baseball.
A Nerf football.
Three golf balls.
A movie ticket from something I don't remember seeing, but must have because I have the ticket.
Nine assorted canvas tote bags. The coolest one is from LL Bean, but it has the logo for the American Urological Association on the side, so I don't want to be seen in public with it.
A pencil sharpener shaped like Snoopy.
An assortment of used library books I bought from the little kiosk in the library and forgot I bought because I put them in the closet to hide them from company when I really didn't feel like cleaning the house.
I am thinking about having a yard sale. I'll have to buy a new table, because last year my wife made me throw away the old one we used to keep in the closet.
