Souvenirs - a poem by Lewis Gardner

Sorting through boxes, I just found this poem, clipped from a New Yorker, faded ...

Souvenirs

Each time you move, do you ship
the same brown carton – photos,
birth certificates, term papers
that got A+, news clips
and letters, yearbooks and programs?
The newsprint crumbles,
the photos curl, the names
are forgotten. Year after year
it waits under dust in the attic
for a grandchild or biographer or a rainy afternoon
when all the items of the past
can be studied, sorted
and properly arranged.

Lewis Gardner

This blog, a year old now, is languishing -- but perhaps a post now and then will show Blogger that it's meant to be kept alive!

"Cutting Edge" - Nina Bentley
Originally uploaded by Marilyn's pix.

"Cutting Edge," a sculpture by assemblage artist Nina Bentley, depicts my feelings about the albums and boxes of old and fuzzy photos that are crying out for attention. I'd rather throw them away or impale them, but doing that might injure the souls of the people pictured. Some primitive superstition hangs over me. (www.ninabentley.com)

Today I'm going to NYC to see The Gates, but why take my camera? Here is a photo posted to Flickr by masck. I searched Flickr for photos of "The Gates," and found thousands, and blogged this one. Thanks Masck!

I started this blog as a place to post some Flickr photos. As a start to this adventure, here is a picture of my first computer. It was an Osborne 1, introduced in 1981. It was the first successful portable microcomputer.
