Happy Couple!
Picture taken about 7.5 million years ago. Seriously, I had it carbon-dated and it came back from the lab telling me that it was from the late cretaceous period (i.e., the late 80s)
A few things about that picture.
One: It’s our engagement photo. Yes, as you can tell from the photo, we got married when I was 14.
Two: See! I used to have hair. Glorious, full and bushy blond hair. It swished. It waved in the wind. I miss it.
Three: Look at those shoulder pads Reha is sporting in that dress! Dang, you could land a hot air ballon on those things.
In all seriousness, I really did *love* the way she looked in that dress. It had a drop waist (whatever that is) and this little sparkly clasp thing and a bow. Sexy!
Four: Though it didn’t seem like it to me at the time, dang those glasses enveloped my face. Wouldn’t you have thought I could have found something that better framed my visage?
Five: This just goes to show you that nothing good ever really comes of cleaning out file cabinets. You always find things that are both unexpected and potentially embarrassing.
Six: Reha looks *exactly* the same now as she did then. No kidding. A bit if gray at her temples and her face is skinnier now.
Huge glasses and girls with shoulder pads: two more reasons to not like the 80’s. My glasses from back then were huge as well. I, mostly, wore contacts.
I miss having a full head of hair too. I’m at about 2/3rds of a head right now and it’s dropping fast. This is me in 1987.

I like the new site design, it’s fresh and peppy.

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
