What: NY Times giveaway umbrella (it almost works!)
Origin: Recycled in 2004 from unclaimed lost and found items at a small business I used to run in lower Manhattan.
How long kept: I don't love umbrellas; here in NYC, their chief utility is keeping someone else's umbrella from poking your eye out. That said, I used this one from time to time, noticed that it was kinda broken in early 2009.
Why kept: It almost worked! (It Might Be Useful.) And, it was on a hook in a dark place in the closet. (Out of Sight, Out of Mind)
Destination: Garbage
Confession: I have another almost working umbrella hanging on that same hook in the closet.
Confession, part deux: I don't feel even an iota of guilt about tossing this.
