But I took a quick break from that to scan in a few old pictures.
Here are the 20 images I have of my high school graduation dance.
It happened in May 1990.
That means my high school graduation dance happened closer to my day of birth than it did to my current age. Which means, I should probably not be thinking lecherous thoughts about Hayden Panettiere (born in 1989).
Anyhoo, back to the past.
I went to the dance with a girl named Nancy Lee. I liked her a lot, but we hadn’t been on many dates before that night. And though nothing went particularly wrong, we never went on another one.
I had a good time, and I am reminded here that I had a good group of friends. I’m still in touch with Judd and Dave occasionally, and Steph, Roxanne and Paulose are friends of mine on Facebook, whatever that means.

“As in 2007, the average U.S. worker has 14 vacation days this year. Just across the Canadian border, our counterparts get an average of 17 vacation days annually. But if you want a real “vacation envy” complex, consider the vacation banks of European workers. France tops the list with an average of 37 days, followed by Italy (33 days), Spain (31), the Netherlands and Austria (28), Germany (27) and Great Britain (26). “
You started my day off with a good old chuckle (not at your pictures, of course)! You should really be one of our contributers to our Spring Fever Series. I am sure you have a few good tales from that 17 year old boy!
