Neither Robert nor Mira brought many physical assets, or other assets for that matter, into their marriage.  Robert had a sports car for a few months.  Ahh . . . sports car (saliva dribble). Ahem, where was I?

Mira brought into this marriage all Robert was looking for. Beauty, charm, and grace under pressure. She had no family wealth, no cedar box full of goodies, no dowry other than one thing.  One thing that Robert knew would be his once her father gave his permission for this union.  One thing that would put the marriage and future family on a firm footing.  One thing that other men had in their sights, but could never quite capture.

That thing is:  The Lowe Alpine 100 liter Travel Tote (black).

Oh, the bag is not valuable for its contents (i.e., some smelly old boots and a mildewed backpack).  It is the bag itself that is priceless. This little puppy has helped us go everywhere. It holds all necessary camping gear (four sleeping bags, four sleeping pads, a tent, a hammock, and stove and kitchen gear).  Checkable by airlines. Indestructible. Just like the Schwirtz spirit.

Note to future husband of Cadie:  This is it, dude.  Don’t be lookin’ for more.
