Ken Pollitz: Going on a treasure hunt By Ken Pollitz - Guest Column We were not in possession of any ancient or mysterious frayed-on-the-fringes map. No dated parchment, inscribed with a large red “X” marking the spot, had been dug up in our backyard. This laborious pursuit would not be that simple! Our joint adventure had been in the works for months, a mutual agreement between my wife and me. Push came to shove, or shall I say “shovel,” and we finally found the time to get to work with some determined digging. Exceedingly confident of multiple treasures to be unearthed, we were nevertheless supremely uncertain as to the specifics. Any price tag was unquantifiable.
