This morning, my dad decided to clean out our storage closet and discovered a treasure trove of old stuff. It’s unusual because my dad has a tendency to throw everything away, like my W-2 tax forms (which he did last year).

Some of our discoveries:

• Full newspapers celebrating the Celtics World Championship… in 1986.
• An unopened pack of blank cassette tapes. Mixtapes anyone?
• The page Drew Bledsoe purchased in the Globe to say goodbye to New England.
• A 1974 Ken Hodge card.
• My old Boys II Men CD.
• A book I made in fifth grade about a field trip our class took.
• A New Orleans guide book published by the Times-Picayune from when he went to Super Bowl XX.
• A giant box of worthless unused checks that as recently as last week I searched everywhere for and couldn’t find and ended up having to buy a new box. Grrr.

Oh, and this gem, which I find so timely to share…

Potential NFC Champions?
