Only true if your sole contact with me is via blog or email. In the past 7 months, I have proved myself The King Of Zoom (or at least, like, the Archduke). Much of the year has been spent walking a tightrope between frustrating seclusion and irresponsible interaction.
No 'Vid here, so I must be doing something right. I hope - think - pray...
Anyway, I read in my daily New York Times email update about someone that had decided to share a daily Christmas photo with friends & family. I may have included some unsuspecting bystanders by posting on the Internet. But I don't think the readership on my blog is too extensive.
So here's my first foray into The Photos of Christmas Past - from good ole 1991!
If you're reading this, you either know or can make an educated guess at the individuals pictured above - but I'll provide a bit of assistance for the uninitiated. From left to right are:
- The Girl (a couple months past her second birthday)
- The (not yet) Middle-Aged Woman [heck, not even 30...]
- Yours Truly (oh Hair, we hardly knew ye!) [I am currently a little more than twice as old as pictured above.]
- The Boy (fresh out of the oven, so to speak. A little over two months old - and wondering why he got stuck with Dad...)
This was taken in the living room of our first home on far west side of Detroit. We had spent several years of renting in Dearborn and Detroit after the nuptials.
While preparing this post, I noticed a small frame on the wall behind us in the picture (between the Christmas tree and my big head). It's a needle-point which my loving Bride prepared for me many moons ago. Maybe it caught my attention because - at this very moment - I only need to raise my eyes from my computer monitor and slightly to the left to see it more clearly on the wall just a few feet from where I'm sitting...
Here's the link: Jim Styro's Collections
The first two disks were created in 2007 with a Sacred Side & a Secular Side. 'Cause I'm multi-faceted. And stuff...
I'd love to write more stuff - but I can only be interesting in short bursts. Hopefully, I can be interesting again tomorrow.
Take care and stay safe.
