31. As do you!
:patriot:

Cool thing is, it was a gift from my teenaged son. He knew I would never buy one for myself. When he was with my mom and dad to go buy it, he chose the red one. My dad asked him if he was sure I wanted a red one. He insisted on the red one. He was right! I would have bought the red one.

14. I don't know if I'd called it my most prized but
I have a set of china that I bought for only $80 back in '84. At the time $80 was a fortune for me to spend because I was just out on my own for the first time. It was a close out and I got so many great items for that price. It was valued at almost $1000. I still really love the china and it looks great!

28. Are those platforms?
Rare to see even a stock photo with platforms and not clipless. Personally, I hate clipless and I get odd looks having platforms on my Sugar.

32. Depends on which day you ask me.
And depending on the day and/or my mood, it would be my guitar, my camera or my chef's knife. I have a second tier of things I'd hate to live without, but those are going to be grabbed first in the event of a fire.

34. My baby (not human -- it's a musical instrument).
Here is the story behind it:

This dude in Vernonia, Oregon, decides he would like to make violins. He makes two identical instruments, with a honey-colored finish and backs made of a beautiful flame maple. My great-uncle, who was an old-time fiddler, bought one of them, then left it (along with another violin) to me when he died of prostate cancer.

It's a lovely instrument -- sorry I don't have pictures -- and it's amazing to think that this guy made it on his first violinmaking attempt. It's got a bright, clear tone, and it plays like he made it for me.

I fiddle on it -- I play classically on the other violin he left me, which is a Roth Pro -- and have had some pretty high-end fiddlers threaten to roll me for it, as well as one of North America's top violin makers offer me an obscene sum of money for it.

I wouldn't part with it for all the money in the world.

37. My Grandpa's desk
Gramps was part of the AEF in WWI, saw alot of action in the trenches. Returned home to Chicago where he was a carpenter and cabinet maker. The depression hit and he was out of work more often than not. He participated in the bonus march in DC and joined the communist party.

He made all his own furniture, not being able to afford new. I have the desk he made in the '20's. It is beautiful art deco style. He scrounged for the materials (the drawer bottoms are recycled road signs) and it is complete with a secret compartment.

It is by far my prized possession.
