I felt much better after I tossed my hat into the kitchen bin. For extra clarity, I gathered all of the championship gear in a box, sealed the box shut, and buried the box under our ginkgo tree. I used the “bad” shovel with a broken handle. A vintage jersey with my last name, which I share with a famous player, also went into the box. It’s my favorite version of the team’s jersey and a gift from my brother. I wonder how long it will last.
