Last month when I decided to talk about my renewed board game obsession to distract myself from getting depressed over another 9/11 anniversary, I showed where some of my games were stored in my home. What I didn't show was above where my Marvel United collection is stored.

There I was unboxing some books and games I had in my garage. There were two old atlases I liked, but one of them had a bunch of ratty post-it notes sticking out. I went to remove them... and found out they were bookmarks of places my mom wanted to visit (and some of the places we had been)...

Apparently she started a wishlist after I started taking her on trips. So of course there's no way I could remove them. They mean more than the book. So now they're sticking out, just as she left them...

How cool is that?

Corsica (Ajaccio) is a place we stopped on a cruise I took her on back in 2010.

No idea why that place got a bookmark when all the other places on that map spread were not. Could be she put it there before the trip so she remembered to research it or something. I'll never know.

But I will always know that we explored the place together and it was a fantastic trip that she enjoyed a lot. And that's all that really matters.
