Caveat: Tree #1111

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree was next to a house by the sea in the woods.

Inside that house, since I worked today, Art prepared dinner. He found a container of leftover beef-barley stew I had made a few days ago. He found another container of leftover fish chowder I had made a while back. He mixed these two together (!) and heated them on the stove for 3 hours, until they had a black crust on the bottom.

He didn’t notice he’d done these unconventional things until I pointed them out. It was one of those moments when I was quite grateful that the 2013 cancer had nuked about 90% of my taste-buds.

Caveat: really very old random photos

Banalities & Journaling / My Photos

I’ve been doing some “spring cleaning” of a sort, up in my attic abode. I ran across some quite old photos that were not stored with my other old photos, and therefore had missed out on early efforts to scan and digitize. So I scanned and digitized these pictures. In chronological order:

From 1979, this is my 8th grade class picture. This was a formative year for me in some respects – it was the year I decided to become a nerd. This was, in fact, a more-or-less conscious choice from among the various social cliques and groups I saw to choose from in the middle-school milieu of the era. I’m still recovering from that ill-fated decision, 40 years on.

From 1983, this is me with my brother Andrew. I was a senior in HS – the slight tan seems to indicate late spring or summer. Andrew was… well, quite small.

From 1992 or 93, Michelle (my wife from 1994-2000 when she passed away). I remember this dress.
