How to Make your own Time Capsule

Find a plastic capsule, put some dusty papers in it, stick it in the ground--hopefully your car keys didn't fall in-- and try to remember where you left it 100 years from now when you're dead.

Or.......

Stick everything in boxes. Bank statements and financial documents, old business papers and promotional items, school stuff, really any ol' thing that fits in a box, and even a few things that shouldn't.

Tape the box up.

Move with it a dozen times over a dozen years. Stuff it in the basement. Wash, rinse, repeat.

And then forget about it...



UNTIL 2006!

Best time capsule evuh! I spent the past few evenings sorting and trashing all this stuff in a final stroll down funny, painful, startling Memory Lane. 1996? Bad stuff, good stuff. 1998? Ditto!

Why? Haven't you been reading the blog? I'm refinishing the basement. Duh.
