“They can make me work in a little box but they can’t crush my spirit!”
-Dilbert

We’re moving! Well, okay, I’m moving…my desk at work. I’m not sure when or to where but, in traditionally ESPN style, I’ve been at my desk for just over a year so it’s time to move. To that end, I’ve started packing up my things and doing some spring cleaning. I found the usual list; Cables I don’t know what they do, files I’ve never used, the map of our North Campus which I swear is incorrect on purpose…and this!

So, I’ve held on to this for two and a half years! It’s a Father’s Day card that Ry-guy made for me, complete with amazing artwork and some “interesting” facts about me. One look and inner turmoil sank in.

How could I throw this out? How could I keep it?! I’m sure there will be many more of these battles…why did his teacher have to put the footprints on the card! The battle went on for probably 45 minutes before I realized, that’s why I’m writing this blog! I’ll place the memory here. That made me sad afterward though because I feel like more and more of our memories are placed here, not here on this blog, but in the cloud. All of our pictures….on the cloud. All of our memories…on social media. There will be a day, in my lifetime, when Facebook or Google opens a virtual museum…not of an existing museum, but of a pure digital-only collection. I’ll be sad when that day comes and I’ll tell you all about it…here.
