Not much in the way of news chum today, so I guess I\u2019ll have to report on life…<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve begun the process of condensing my father\u2019s photo albums. This means going through the 200-so albums he had, and only keeping the pictures with people that I know in them and that are in focus. So far, I\u2019ve condensed about 38 albums into 6, covering the period from around 1944 through 1975. While doing so, I\u2019ve uncovered a bunch of pictures that are reminding me of my Jr. and Sr. High School days, and of people I\u2019ve lost touch with. I\u2019ve looked a few of them up on the interwebs and found them. For some reason, a lot of folks my age aren\u2019t on Facebook :-). I plan to look up a few more. I\u2019m always amazed where people end up. Still others, however, I can\u2019t find easily. Perhaps that\u2019s a message from nature :-). It is reminding me, though, of how badly<\/i> I dressed in the early 1970s, and how I wasn\u2019t the party (or even the heavily social) animal. <\/p>\n
My daughter is now in high school. She\u2019s a hostess type (meaning she likes being the party host: bringing fudge, food, etc.). We have a pool. Combine these facts, stir, and what conclusion do you get. That\u2019s right. Monday: out to dinner with tech crew. Tuesday, tech crew over to our house to swim. Tonight, they are coming over after the mall. Now, these are good<\/i> teenagers, and it does mean I know where she is…. but I think this is going take some getting used to.<\/p>\n
On tap for tonight: more photo albums (I\u2019ve only got 3 binders before I have to order more). Next up: 1975 moving into 1976, and coming up on my high school graduation. I\u2019m sure once I move out of the house the albums will condense even faster. I feel like a backup compression program: some go fast, some go slow….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
