I miss that “Back to School” part of the year. The funny (and pathetic) part of this list from the Onion is that I remember fervently begging for (and then subsequently coveting) a shiny new Trapper Keeper every year of elementary school. And within three months I’d have drawn all over it and picked holes in the plastic.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
