Family Photos From The Past... Dang! I've Changed!

I had to update this since my brother is hellbent on reliving the past through some of my funkier pictures. My brother recently sent this to me and I thought I'd give all of you a little peek at me as a baby AND as an 80's chick. I think I was about 2 when this photo was taken back when we lived in the community of Bent Creek, and I had just been released on my own when the others were taken in Phoenix in the early 80's.

Boy did it bring back memories.

So much so that I can hear "Babs" Streisand herself blaring in the back of my head right now.

There is Mike, the oldest, then Bobby (he makes us call him BOB now), and me.

See, we did live in the burbs before they were referred to as The Burbs.

Someone must be making me watch Dr. Who.

What a goofy damn face I had on this one!

And WHAT possessed me to cut my hair like this!

A Plug For My Nephew

You won't see me doing any of these very often, but this I just can't pass the opportunity to do so.

I am plugging someone. It's personal okay; it's my nephew, Brandon. But it is not because he is my nephew that I am doing it (okay, maybe it is - so what!), it is because I truly believe in promoting personal passion and drive that has remained so consistent since the boy's budding personality emerged so soon after he was born.

Though the years and miles have separated us, he has never, ever left my heart and he has never ceased to amaze me in what he can do or create.

Okay, gotta get to the point cause I have tears coming down my face now.

If you are anywhere near Phoenix, AZ, please run to the Stray Cat Theatre to see Columbinus, and check out this controversal, but 5-star rated performance. It is the story of the Columbine shootings, which we are very near the anniversary of. It is serious theatre for serious reflection of a very painful time in our history. Brandon plays Eric Harris.

I'm very proud of my nephew.
