Frank, you're dominating this thread.  I absolutely love it.

 

Maybe this evening I will open up the trunk again and see what I can find to put up.

I think I am about 14 years old in this photo.  I have no idea who the other people are but we're really happy to be at Disney World.

Me with mah Pop and his dog circa 1978, age 4.

Me with Santa. I wish I still had that coat, only much bigger, age 3.

Me with Pop again in Boulder, Co. and half-brother–at a wedding where he did some sort of druid blessing or something that required wearing beads. Age 17/18ish.

Note: this is my real hair color. More later...

Omg, the nostalgia is almost creepy. I think I know exactly where you are on Euclid Ave. and I'm probably around the corner in the cul-de-sac on Cleburne smoking a joint. I love this photograph, it's a like a time machine.

OK, it took over 3 minutes for this thread to open and get to page 2, just for me to read Glam's post. That said, it was worth the wait.

Can't remember the occassion for the face paint, but that's my first cat, Bubbles.  I named him that because my mother used to play John Lennon's album Double Fantasy over and over again, and there's one part during the album where Lennon says "bubbles, bubbles".  Or maybe he doesn't...but I thought he did at the time. 

 

This is me in 1978 with my dog Kobi...

This is the cast photo from the Foreigner, a play I was in in high school.  I'm the cranky looking guy in the back, cast in the role of Owen Musser, a redneck and Klansman.  Tripped on my white robe running up the aisle during one of the performances and almost landed in the lap of the school's principal.  Who of course, was black...

Probably 3rd or 4th grade - '82-'83 or thereabouts...

Everyone has an awkward stage, but mine's been going strong for 34 years.

This is me back at Christmas 2005.  I think I said a few weeks before my wife filed for divorce, but I guess it would have been more like three days.  This would, i think, be Christmas Eve of that year, at my Mom's house.  The troll sitting between my darling children there told me two days after Christmas (I think it would have been the day after but we still had family stuff going on the 26th) that she couldn't take another minute with me.

 

She had filed the divorce papers within 36 hours and was in a new place within four days.  But, she said, she didn't plan it.  Like she didn't leave me for another guy, such as the one she was living with by the following October and then married in January...

 Most of the pictures I have scanned on my computer are either from when I was really little or just a few years ago.  Maybe I'll scan some from high school later... we'll see.

I'm thinking this one is about 1991.  Valentine's day at school with my grandfather:

Is that weird to remember everyone you went to school with? I can name everyone I went to school with, most of them their last names too same with all the teachers i had. I can see if you moved around a lot not remembering them, but it's weird to me that if you went to the same schools you wouldn't remember everyone.

Garrick scanned this for me and titled the picture 'goingtoseethecure.jpg'.  I am about 15 in the photo and I think we were going to see R.E.M.  Either that, or we just looked like that all of the time.
