Homesick while you're still home

Well this sucks.

Birkenstocks in Germany and Marge Piercy in Ohio

Had to put one more up...

Eva, Dad and me, 1994

Here I am in Germany with Eva and her dad on my trip there in 1994, after our high school graduation. (In case you can't tell, that's me on the right.)

Besides the totally awesome haircut (or lack thereof) that I was sporting, and some wicked cool cutoffs, I also had on the best pair of Birkenstocks I've ever owned, which Eva's mom gave me upon my arrival. They were mostly green with other bright colors thrown in. I always got compliments on them and never found any like them here.

And do I believe the t-shirt I was wearing sported a Marge Piercy poem on the back. (Not the whole poem, just the last stanza.)

Try wearing that to a small-town high school in Ohio. Do you know how many fights I had with random stupid boys about that?

Oldies

Here are a couple of gems from the photo archives over here at Chez Martinelli-Reed-Martin.

crazy caped man in Brighton

We used to see this guy fairly frequently in Brighton when we lived there. I snuck this photo in 2001 and was so excited to get it. I'm so sad it took me this long to post it. This was a homeless guy I'm pretty sure, but the point is the cape. Awesome.

Jenn in Saratoga considering the horses

Here I am in August of 2001. This was on our semi-annual trip to Saratoga Springs, NY, where Rob grew up. Don't I look so studious? Too bad I was considering which horse to bet on. Don't worry, we're talking $3 bets.

Stay tuned for more fun pictures soon to come!

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
