I was about 5 yrs old walking one of the creeks running through town when I found a neat little bottle that had a weird shape and bubbles in the glass, so I brought it home. It became my favorite possession.. I drank water from it, I made it whistle, I carried it everywhere. Then one evening my parents brought me along to a dinner party.. there was a gentleman named Brendan Byrne, he looked really important to me, and he paid attention to me, asked me questions I didn't really understand, so I unpocketed my prized find and showed him the bottle. For several very interesting moments after that, the subject at this spiffy adult party was antique bottles. I became an obsessed 5 year old creek digger that night. []
