January 1986, on the top of Moro Rock, in Sequoia National Park, which is just up the road from my home in Visalia. It may look like I have a death grip on the rail, but I don’t remember being at all nervous there. I’m 28 here, and there are two things I notice in this picture: how much hair I have compared to today, and how much snow on the mountains compared to today. Both were much thicker than now. Mother Nature can be a bitch, and Father Time a bastard!

Throwback Thursday: July, 1958

It’s July, 1958. El Paso, Texas. “Big Jimmie”, as he will come to be called by his family now that he has a “Little Jimmie”, turned 20 this month, and is an airman in the United States Air Force. When I selected the picture for this week’s “Throwback Thursday”, I noticed something I hadn’t seen before. I’ve always seen him in pictures of me, and that gets truer the older I get. Until today, however, I had never noticed my Mother in me. I see her in this one, however. Something in my face reminds me of her, and I wonder why I never noticed it before. I also see many of my other relatives. Or rather I see the common familial features we all tend to have as infants. We might all look very different as we grow up, but you can certainly tell we’re all related in our baby pictures.
Oddly, it reminds me of how I first became aware of Keanu Reeves.
