By far, the most valuable material things in my world are photographs. Sure, I love my old toys and games a lot, too, but nothing is as priceless or irreplaceable as an old family photograph! That's why I'm so pleased to have borrowed a few of my family's old albums from my mom; I can scan and make copies for my own collection. Plus, now I can share some of my personal favorites with you. So if it sounds like fun, just grab a seat next to me and we'll get started...
 |
| This is my mom and dad on New Years Eve, 1969, "sealing the deal" in a Las Vegas wedding chapel. They made quite the handsome couple, if you ask me! |
 |
| Here are the stylish newlyweds, again! Look how very dashing my dad appears in his suit, smoking a pipe. And check out my mom's HAIR! Wow! Actually, it's interesting to note that my mom was about 5 or 6 months pregnant with me in this photo because if I didn't know better, I'd swear she was carrying ME under that HELMET of hers! |
 |
| Not sure WHAT I DID to deserve THIS... But at least I look happy. And I should, just look at the bottle of port they threw in there with me! Here, I'm about 1-year-old and happy as a clam. A drunken clam. |
 |
| Did I ever mention that my grandparents were robots? |
 |
| "Now, what??" Here, I'm about 2 or 3 and quite obviously less than impressed. |
 |
| Grandpa |
 |
| Sheesh! You'd think that riding HUGE turtles and carousel horses would make all the little boys smile, but NOOOO, not this kid... |
 |
| Viva, Las Vegas! I think my mom looks WAY cool, here. She's totally rockin' that retro look and vibe... only it WASN'T retro back THEN! It was the real deal. |
 |
| "Allo. Parlez-vous francais?" This shot cracks me up every time I see it! And it makes me think of Pepe Le Pew, if he were a little boy and NOT a skunk. |
Well, I hope all of that didn't bore you too much, folks. In fact, thanks for indulging me! Until the next 'Retro Photo' session, remember... Today's snapshot could be tomorrow's priceless treasure.
