Trophies

[Verne Koester]

I really like the photo ones too. Seems the more contests I bring a trophy
home from, the worse I look. And the proof is on the wall! Seriously though,
eliminating trophies is a mistake. I just boxed up a bunch myself to make
space in the workshop, but they mean everything to guys that are just
starting and those that don't have many. I'd be lying if I said it didn't
matter to me when I come home empty-handed, even though the award will
likely end up in a box somewhere for lack of wall space. It's all part of
the tradition, I guess.
