Long ago, Irene and I decided that it would be cool to collect something systematically when we travelled. We settled on shot glasses because they are small, attractive and would be cool to display. However, not having a place to display them early on and the lack of practicality of lots of shot glasses, it morphed into something that seemed like a dumb idea. We switched to espresso cups for a short while and then we simply stopped all together.
Then, when we bought our house, it turned out to have these weird short shelves near the ceiling that are almost without utility. Except, of course, for the fact that shot glasses fit perfecting in the space:
So, now, not only do we not have anything close to a representation of the places we have visited together - but this particular shelf goes on for another 3 feet with nothing on it currently...
Years ago, I took class pics with my entire classes on the last day of school. I did this before i had a blog and before phones-with-cameras were ubiquitous. So, needless to say, I didn't always remember to bring a camera and it didn't always happen and... well, I have been inconsistent so a golden opportunity for a really cool retrospective has slipped through my fingers.
Today's pic of some of my seniors at the end of astronomy class. I, of course, didn't think of it in time to catch everyone and so it represents another failure at self-discipline...

For completion, here is the mini collection of espresso cups:
