At the end of summer, a few days before the new school year would start, came the Del Norte County Fair. One of my favorite’s things was the ‘mystery grab bag,’ where for a quarter I could select a brown paper bag full of stuff.
Sometimes it was full of crap, which was disappointing. Sometimes it was filled with stuff I couldn’t wait to get home a play with.
Because I never accepted the disappointment, I’d return each year with a pocket full of quarters and optimism. Life is very much like a ‘mystery grab bag’ and worth the price.
