Day 294: Finally opened my birthday bottle of wine. Only to dump it out and save the bottle. Thanks Dad - this bottle is awkwardly one of my favorite possessions., a photo by lalasappy on Flickr.
To be clear (since the picture isn't....you totally can't see the 1985) - This bottle is from the year I was born. Dad bought each of his children a bottle of wine after we were born to drink on our 21st birthday as a celebration. Needless to say, I didn't drink mine on my 21st birthday. In fact, I never opened it. So in order to pack it safely (it's traveled with me the past 5 years! but with some close calls...), I emptied it today in Dad's presence. I only felt right about doing it when he was here. :)
