Via This, regarding This:
In high school, amongst other things, I was on the Debate Team. Also amongst other things, I excelled at it. In fact, I was state champion.
Because of this success, I won many ribbons, and at the bigger tournaments, trophies. Those trophies are still out and about at the old house. Some rusted. Some cracked. Some have faded out. But they’re still around, steady on their marble bases with gold leaf clinging to rusting base material.
I love my old trophies.
