Dear Dad,

Yes, I’m working on a big project this weekend.

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.

No one knows what happened to Guru.

Do look at the whole set of photos. I especially like the pyramid one.

Dear Dad,

Overheard

“The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”

...who said it?

“Almost every American I know does trade large portions of his life for entertainment, hour by weeknight hour, binge by Saturday binge, Facebook check by Facebook check. I’m one of them. In the course of writing this I’ve watched all 13 episodes of House of Cards and who knows how many more West Wing episodes, and I’ve spent any number of blurred hours falling down internet rabbit holes. All instead of reading, or writing, or working, or spending real time with people I love.”

...who said it?

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

...who said it?

“I play with variables constantly.”

...who said it?

“Only the person who has learned Continual Love coming from a heart of Gratitude/Worship can effectively deal with the problem of loneliness.”

...who said it?
