My ticket and Allen's for the Munch Exhibit
The term ephemera derives from the Greek ephemeros, "for the day." It passes through our hands all the time. Most of the time we barely acknowledge it. Once in a while it seems to warrant keeping. I guess ephemera is a device for organizing our lives and memories. Running across ephemera from our own past days is a happy/sad experience. It's another one of those aspects of being human that fascinates me--why we save things.

It could take a lifetime to organize my ephemera--- So glad you & Allen went to Chicago & caught this exhibit together!
