100% Cotton yellow t-shirt, from the Gap, size medium, made in Singapore, worn on various vacations, left behind in a washing machine at a Somerville laundromat in November 2009, along with a load of other clothes that were “machine wash cold.” At least I still have an orange one, but I liked the yellow one best.
I got this shirt, my only gray Red Sox t-shirt (referencing the gray jerseys players wear on the road) only a few months before losing it, along with an entire load of laundry that I left behind at a Somerville laundromat in November 2009. I got a replacement at a Blue Jays v. Red Sox game in May 2010, but got the wrong size. On August 6, 2010, Youkilis had season-ending surgery to repair a torn muscle in his right thumb, devastating “Red Sox Nation” as well as my fantasy baseball team, the “Inglorious Goatees.” Youkilis is my favorite player.
Purchased in Ireland, in the summer of 2007. Lost on a harried evening in November 2009. I forgot a load of laundry (including this t-shirt) at a Somerville laundromat — in one of the washers, I think. When I realized my mistake (days later) and returned to the facility, it was all gone.
On January 21, 2009, at about five pm, I slipped on an icy sidewalk in Boston. I fell hard on my right elbow. I didn’t discover until later, after I got off the CT1 bus in Cambridge, that my ipod mp3 player was missing. I still had the headphones. It must have slipped out of my pocket when I fell.
Sometime during the summer of 2006 I lost the second disc of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s The Decalogue — films Four (“Honour thy father and thy mother”), Five (“Thou shalt not kill”) and Six (“Thou shalt not commit adultery”); each of the hour-long films explores one of the Ten Commandments. I never found the wayward disc, and eventually reported it missing September 26, 2006.
Borrowed, misplaced… and it never resurfaced: Probably June 2008, replacement purchased: August 2008.
Dropped along the cliff walk pathways of seaside Howth, Ireland on July 22, 2007.
Misplaced: November 2007, replaced: December fifth, 2007, & then found: December ninth, 2007. As it turns out, all I really needed was a memory card reader.
