My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

« Go Back
two things-years ago after washing out of college I lived with a nice girl who gave me a guitar she had living in the closet, which later I wore on my back (and occasionally played) whilst hitchhiking across the North American continent. This instrument later burnt in a fire on the house in which I was living with a sort of surrogate family. I was able to recover the burnt pieces of the guitar and later performed a ceremony which involved burning the rest of the pieces in a campfire in the hills of the desert of central Washington State (USA) and consecrating the recovered truss rod to the best of my ability.
A few years later the mother of this family gave me another classical guitar for a Christmas present. I still have this guitar, and the cleaned and polished truss rod from the older one. Mom's gone now, she died in November of 2006 but I shan't forget her as long as I live- and as long as I can keep this guitar alive, I have a way to honor her memory in my life.
