Early this weekend, I was cleaning out one of our two storage closets.

I found a number of things in the various boxes marked "miscellaneous papers" -- always the most time consuming to sort through, and I know very well why Dave Weinberger's next book is to be titled Everything Is Miscellaneous.

Due to quirky_teal being, well, quirky, we lost most of our family photos in the late 1980s sometime.

This is perhaps the oldest extant photo of me. I'm in the back yard of our place on Myrtle Ave in Cambridge, MA (just about a block from where Savenor's Market used to be, on Kirkland). The little girl next to me is Bea Carrieri, our neighbors' daughter (and probably my first crush :) This must be in 1964 sometime -- I was born June 28, 1963, and I think I must be older than six months but younger than a year-and-a-half...
