Evidence of My Existence

Photos of me through the years for those who wish to see the march of that ol' debil, Time.

As I find 'em and scan 'em, I'll add more, so check back...

There is a somewhat odd lack of photographs between 1970 and 1995, though my life was full at the time.  

Who knows?  A few have surfaced recently, and been added

And there's always that mystery box in the corner that beckons.

Or maybe I'll just cosset my memories...

In 2005 we began the process of packing and prepping in earnest for the big move west.  While troops of people traipsed in and out of our house, we worked on converting a school bus into an RV that ended up providing shelter during the move for two adults, four cats, an ancient weiner dog and three businesses!
