You are here







Random Quote

We write to expose the unexposed. If there is one door in the castle you have been told not to go through, you must. Otherwise, you're just be rearranging the furniture in rooms you've already been in. Most human beings are dedicated to keeping that one door shut. But the writer's job is to see what's behind it, too see the bleak unspeakable stuff, and to turn the unspeakable into words - not just any words, but if we can, into rhythm and blues.
-- Anne Lamott

Old Photos - 12/2/2007

 

My high school friend, Rik Schwinden, took this photo in a park in Des Moines when we reconnected several years after high school. I've since lost track of him somwhere in Minnesota.

This is what I looked like when he knew me in high school.

That picture was taken by Mike Langley, high school friend and a musician from Sioux City, Iowa, when we were hanging at his parents' house. I traded a few email with Mike a couple of years ago. He had a web site, but that appears to no longer be active. He still Googles though...

Funny how we lose track of people through the years, and then occasionally intersect.

Digitizing Photos

 

Last night, I started digitizing a few photos. I think I'll spend a few minutes a day doing that with all of my old photos.

Here are a few:

This will keep these memories permanent for me.

In the last picture, on the right, is my Aunt Onie. The woman was like a second mother to me. It's easy to miss her.
