Flashback Friday

1984.

It was a good year.


I was in the throes of first love.


Reagan won the presidential election against Mondale in a landslide.


McEnroe defeated Jimmy Conners at Wimbledon.

The Cosby show debuted.


Michael Jackson was still cute and released "Thriller."


Vanessa Williams was crowned Miss America.

We all started asking "Where's the beef?"

Apple Computer unveiled its Macintosh personal computer.

Cyndi Lauper sang "Time After Time."

Carl Lewis won four gold medals at the summer games.

"Miami Vice" began its terrible influence on men's fashion.

And this man, whom I would marry 8 years later, was working at McDonalds.

Love you, honey...

    ohmigosh... good laugh.... did you get permission? Flashback Friday should not be wielded on unsuspecting friends or family... but it was funny... paul had those deck shoes and the mustache too... i still love "time after time" - I have an artist friend that has his own arrangement of it...asia probably knows him - he went to briercrest around the same time as paul and asia- rik leaf... i think steve deserves some flashback exposure.

    I had to show Danny this one!! We both had quite a chuckle (especially about lorraine's Sanford & Son line!!)

    The angle of that picture makes his legs look freakishly disproportionate to his head. To bad the "fro" wasn't unleashed to add balance!

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends.
