I love the community that exists in Cambridge. The intelligent and interesting people, the
creativity on display in everything from customized bikes to unique lawn
ornaments, the area practically hums with ideas. I also appreciate that friends keep a lookout
for free stuff, and call me when sightings happen. Such was the case when “Lady K” (girlfriend
of Technologist Roommate) had her boyfriend call me with notice of ‘a
nice-looking frame on the sidewalk’ near our house. So, shoes on, keys in hand, out I went to
scavenge on a sunny afternoon [clearly this was a while ago!!]. I didn’t
bring a camera, but I was impressed with Lady K’s ability to spot a nice frame
amongst a pile of miscellaneous cabinets.
It was a framed poster for the 1997 movie Love! Valour! Compassion!
Found: black metal frame (minimal scratches), glass front, white
poster-board backing
Size: poster size, approx 24x36 inches
Now, as much fun as Jason Alexander was to watch on
Seinfeld, I never saw the Love! Valour! Compassion! movie, so had no
attachment to the poster. Sorry poster, off to the recycle bin for you.
Creative Roommate took charge of this project, and painted an imposing lion to adorn her wall.

You might notice that there is no glass in the final version,
if so you should be complemented on your keen eye. Why no glass? Well, let’s
just say someone experimented with tension forces and unconventional
dis-assembly techniques, learned a valuable lesson, and now knows the proper
way to take apart a metal frame. Fear not, no one was injured in the making of this freestyle post.
Remember, if you don't want it, maybe someone else does. It never hurts to notify.
Happy freestyling!
