Lovejoy handed me the pretzel above with a big ‘ol smirk on his face. It was lunchtime and we were chowing down in the mess hall and he came across the treasure above finishing off his manwich.

He handed it over, shit-eating grin beaming, and I exclaimed, “Wow, a Flying V Guitar!”

I think he had something else on his mind, with this one. Hard to say.

Something I think about all the damn time: The Items We Carry group on Flickr.

Every now and again, I venture out of the house and into the world. Not much, though. And when I do, it’s a real haul: My “essentials.”

Embarrassing, kinda. I like the idea of how those pesky iPhones cancel out the Nano and Digi-Elph. Gone. One hunk of electronics, covering many bases. Gotta get one of those.

Thanks for the invite, Naz. Great group. Be sure to take a run through Naz’ photos. Mountains of talent. Mountains.
