Always Looking For That Fresh Start…
When Winthrop’s house went into foreclosure and his Italian sports cars were repossessed and his designer suits were taken along with his furniture, jet skis and fine china… he was a man on the precipice. All that was left after the courts got through with him was a sleeveless Michael Bolton T-shirt from the Time, Love & Tenderness Tour and his Tetra Starter Kit.
He instantly felt a sense of calm wash over him because he knew that everything would be ok. Sure Winthrop had just been convicted of commodities fraud but he still had a week to report to jail. He ran his hand across the handmade exterior finish of the box and opened it. The Starter Kit seemed appropriate because in many ways he was starting over.
Winthrop removed the Tetra Balance Pipe and silver Queue Stick lighter and lit up bowl after bowl. He played Bolton from his iPhone and poured out the ashes in his beautifully designed Tetra smoked glass ashtray. He felt at home again even though his home was now technically owned by the bank.
When Winthrop was good and high he closed up his kit, put on his Bolton concert T, and looked out from his former balcony. He peered over his once great domain and proclaimed to do right this time—Just after he takes a few more hits from that stylish pipe.
In an act of love and drama Winthrop buried his Tetra Starter Kit in the backyard. Vowing to return for it when he has repaid his debt to society.
