HIDDEN TREASURES

I've been cleaning out my garage area in short increments over the past few weekends. Amongst all of the neglected trash, I've found several items and pictures that have been like time machines to me. It's nice to find things you completely forgot about, especially when they bring back memories and emotions of your childhood. It's also nice to have a clean garage. Out of all of the yearbooks, pictures and random things I've saved, these were just some of the highlights:

1) A picture of me and a member of the 1993 Brazilian national team who I can't seem to identify. My dad is to my right trying to get in the shot...

2) A vintage Julio Jaramillo vinyl record that my grandmother gave to my dad. Unfortunately, I never met my grandmother from my father's side of the family, but I enjoy listening to the music of her time. Jaramillo was basically the Frank Sinatra of Ecuador, and the record still plays perfectly.

3) A sheet of Osama Bin Laden toilet paper. I have no idea where it came from or who it belongs to, but I felt compelled to keep it.
