One of my family’s stories involves a very young Adam – but considering that I do not remember the story, I would presume it happened in the 1970s, roughly speaking. We’d taken a family trip to Oregon – which is where my maternal grandmother lived. My maternal grandfather died before I was born. I have […] I bought the above bracelet in 2013 while visiting New Mexico – the same trip when I bought Whatchamacallit 18: the Navajo Plant Dye Chart and Whatchamacallit 92: Navajo Turquoise Bracelet. This was bought at a place where you really can be in four places at once: Four Corners Monument. Surely I didn’t pay […] Last year, Elizabeth Warren was one of the presidential candidates I supported early on. Clearly, I am somewhat disappointed that she did not do better in the primaries. However, I am going to vote for Joe Biden, enthusiastically. Is he my dream candidate? No. Do I agree with everything he says or does? No. […] I bought this particular bolo tie on August 12, 2017 – so just over three years ago. My receipt, from Keshi, states: Sterling Silver + mother-of-pearl, jet, turquoise, coral, lapis w/ leather cord.. Wagon wheel bolo tie By Craig Lamy = Zuni artist= It cost 600.00, plus 49.88 in taxes; […] In 2015, I visited Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the first time in years – although I have relatives living in the city and I love Santa Fe, I do not visit New Mexico nearly enough. This poster was a present from my relatives – capturing Route 66 going down Central Avenue, hinting at the […] I bought this anklet on October 24, 2015, at Holuaola Gallery, which is in Holuaola, Hawaii. According to the receipt, I paid $22.50, taxes of $0.94, making for a grand total of $23.44. I used a Visa card. This is the only anklet I own – I bought it without trying it on, then […] Last August I visited Boston where I walked the Freedom Trail. While there’s a lot of good things to say about the Freedom Trail in theory (great idea!), practically speaking, it has many issues. Certainly, I enjoyed many moments on the trail, including seeing this statue of Paul Revere with the famous North Church […] I miss when America was great. During the Covid-19 crisis, I am going to try and make a point of writing a blog post about an object in my home. We’ll see how long this lasts. Few people see or use US$2 bills on a regular basis – even rarer is the above 1963 Red Seal $2 Bill. While the modern $2 bill has an image of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, this one features Monticello. Given the condition of this note, while it is probably […] This is one of two paintings I have by Sivaluaq, both acquired during my trip to Alaska in January/February 2015. I paid $69.95 (plus tax) for this one while waiting to board my United flight from Anchorage back to Denver, en route to Berlin. It is on caribou skin. Sivaluaq, also known as Jerry […] |
