new house. new life.

we finally made it.
still getting organized (obviously...)



only a few delays along the way.
welcome delays.

hurricanes can be a blessing. really.
sometimes they can help provide those welcome delays.

screwing up in the worst imaginable way... that can be a blessing too.

it's all in how you look at things.

lederhosen???

every so often, i get to wondering about people from my past that i haven't seen or heard of in ages.

so i google them.

most times it turns up nothing, but every so often i find a golden nugget.

take, for instance, the last time this urge struck me:

i googled a couple old boyfriends. nothing. though, i did find a lot of information about the wife of one of them.
i googled some old girlfriends... harder to track down with marriages and name changes and all that... still nothing.
a couple old bosses. mostly the mean ones. nothing. maybe they're dead?

just as i'm about to give up and move on to something else to interest my imagination, i enter one last name. nothing.

i decide to check images.

genius!
hit #2 and #3 are the jackpot!

i did this weeks ago, but i'm still giggling about what i found.

he's standing there, holding a beer in a red cup (it matched his shirt and socks! or maybe tights?) wearing lederhosen! and he's with friends; also wearing lederhosen.

personally, i think the black leather motorcycle jacket and combat boots suited him better.

(i'm still debating about whether or not to re-post the picture...)
