So, apparently I didn’t read the plethora of graduation info for ASU. My small handbag that I can barely fit my phone and keys into was an inch too big. I was rejected. Several dads were hoofin it back to cars, but ours was a long way away. So, I went to King St and live-streamed the event with the comfort of a snack and beverage. Keith and one of Ford’s roommates watched in the arena.
As i helped my youngest back to travel abroad this morning, I felt like I was invading his privacy a little bit as I helped him roll up every item as efficiently as possible into his suitcase. His suit case. Containing everything he will need for the next 4 weeks. A few things didn't make the cut. I tried not to question 4 jackets and one pair of pants. So glad you're a Niner, Court! They are so lucky to have you. xoxoxo
Very timely and true, as I try to think of what one small non binding thing to hold my cell, license and debit card for a plane ride. I may go with the" Road Scholar" plastic necklace pocket from years ago, and look like a well heeled traveler of yore.
I had a similar experience at a football event. My fanny pack was not allowed with the strap. So, I tucked the strap inside and held the pack in my hand. It magically transformed from something dangerous to a simple hand clutch. Go figure.
You are too kind to have to be a "bad guy" at events where folks are going to be emotional. I'm sure you were successful at making an unhappy situation a little easier for most people. What a fortunate place UNCC is to have you there!
Like you, I’m a minimalist. I don’t own many purses(3 total I think), certainly not any with a significant price tag. I have lots of utilitarian bags though - old boat bags (think lands end 90s), reusable grocery bags coming out my ears. I carry my debit card on the back of my phone and try to buy clothes with pockets so I can carry my car key. I think I could make the argument that I need a Tesla so I can stop carrying a car key. 😂 Wonder if that would work with Ryan? Love you & love reading this in your voice. I pretend I’m listening to you say your blog-- it’s a delightful few minutes of my day.
