Well that was sad...

I spent the better part of my day cleaning the closet in my guest room. It has tonnes of space and I don't use it except for storage. I just hate eye clutter. And I hate when I open the doors to the closet and there we have eye clutter. I really don't like things out on my counter tops either.
So I knew I had some boxes that could afford some straightening and I know once the year is over I can rumage through some other boxes of financials.
I ended up moving 4 more boxes into the attic. And threw out some things.
One of the things I threw out were negatives. Given the scanning age, I can pretty much scan any crappy old picture and get a duplicate. The shoe box full of negatives really didn't need to stick around. OK - you are mad because they are bad for the environment. I can't imagine them being good for the environment - chemically treated plastic strips? But I threw them out anyways. Of course not without sorting through the envelopes... And guess what I found?
An airline ticket.... When I moved away from Bermuda I was given 21 days to gather my belongings settle my affairs and leave the island. And of course they gave me that notice a week late. It ended up being cheaper to buy a round trip ticket than a one way. I suppose that is usually the case. And that's what was hidden in the midst of all those envelopes. A little ticket portfolio from Continental with the other half of that ticket.
Yep - I kept it. I just moved it to a different box for now.

Bermuda Rugby Classic

http://www.worldrugby.bm/
One of my more unique memories from living in Bermuda was heading on out to the rugby classic. I had some friends that played rugby and we went to watch a few of their games every once in a while. But this was a big to do on the island.
I think it was a Sunday afternoon and a friend and I headed on out to the field. A different field than where it is played today. And it was rainy and damp and chilly. But it was lots of fun.... The fans are just as entertaining as the games.
Today I am not exposed to much rugby. It's not as big of a sport here in NC as other places in the world. However my friend's son is an amazing rugby player. In fact he got a scholarship to university to play rugby. One of these days I hope to watch him play.
In the meantime, I hope all my friends are enjoying themselves this last day of the games in Bda.
