This isn’t a spiritual quest article. I’m not talking about love or friendship or intangibles like a good reputation or a clear conscience. Nor am I talking about that other form of intangibles, financial “securities” (which many of us have recently learned can disappear into the ether as easily as love or a clear conscience). No, I’m just talking about physical, buy-and-sell-without-cosmic-implications kinds of “things”. Short of cars and houses (which I didn’t actually own anyway; several banks did), I’ve held title to one physical item so far in my life with a five digit market value. And since it’s now gone, I’m going to take a moment to document it; after all, it’s possible that in my next 43 years of life I’ll not own anything this cool again.
