Friday Five: Things

1. What is the oldest object in the room with you?

uh, well, I'm at Panera working? But let's pretend I'm home lmao. The oldest thing in that room is...hmm...well, the office is where our filing cabinet is, and all the family pictures, including a lot from my parents. There are photographs my grandfather took in France during World War 2, for example. My mom took back some of the oldest pictures so she could label them, so I'm not exactly sure what's oldest, but I'd bet there are photos back to at least the 19teens in there still, and possibly as old as the late 19th century.

2. What is the newest?

I just got a new plant a few days ago! There's also always new art and stuff that my kids have made. And bills that came in the mail lmao.

3. What is your favorite object in the room with you?

The original of Man with a Gold Earring by Omar Rayyan - https://www.studiorayyan.com/


All my favorite art is in the office so I can see it every day, and I bought a lot of lovely originals back in a previous life, or, er. Career. When I had more money.

4. What is the most valuable object?

Oh hey. I should have read ahead lmao. Also Man with Gold Earring. I spent $5,000 to bring my beloved. It took me two years to pay it off and I've never regretted it for a moment.

5. What is the ugliest object?

My wife has some really ugly dice she uses for gaming.
