I use that photograph as a bookmark for every book that I read.

It just shows my brother and I laughing. It’s from the time “before”.

It is only a great photo because of our joy that BLASTS from the frame. It is actually slightly fuzzy as though we (or the photographer) started to move away too soon. It is now dog eared and slightly creased.

The only time I didn’t use it as a bookmark I accidentally left the book in the seat pocket on a plane. I still can’t work out if it is a blessing I didn’t use the photograph and therefore bequeath it unknowingly to the next occupant of 22D…or if it was because I failed to use my usual bookmark that I even forgot the book in the first place. What do you think?
