The high school alumni website is moving to Facebook. Facebook offers users many helps. The need to spell anything doesn't exist at Facebook. Every Facebook form uses drop-downs. I embraced and feared the coddling.
I joined the groups. Yes, the alumni groups. I'm, like, the only member without a future "Class of" year.
Profile pictures of other group members disturb me. These folks graduated the same h.s.?! I stopped browsing profiles out of concern I'd see something inappropriate. Not a few feature dark glass bottles or shiny aluminum cans.
The picture above is me, taken perhaps when I still had a future "Class of" year?
Well, no.
It was captured with Jeff's Logitech digital camera (Fotoman Pixtura, seen here, scroll down) in the mid-90's. Postgrad. Jeff tells me now that he thinks we were at a gas station, probably traveling to Florida in the "Go-Kart", his affectionate nickname for my first car.
It has a young, raunchy, "just starting out" innocence, so I went with it.
