Nice photos! Especially those last three(-in-one):
Finally, proof positive that you weren't born with that beard! (Or, if you were, that at least you shaved it off during those awkward pre-preteen years.)
On the yes-I'm-THAT-picayune front: Hey, guess what? If you have a camera that can take digital photos of your old photos ... you DO have a digitizer! How's that for adhering-to-the-letter-of-a-statement-while-ignoring-its-obvious-spirit?
By the way: I disagree with your Paul statement ... but (with a few exceptions) not the Wings part of it.
Great Moments in Simpsons History: The family is trying to have Bart deprogrammed but Homer wants to make sure of the deprogrammer's bona fides.
Deprogrammer: “I got Paul McCartney out of Wings, didn’t I?”
Homer [furious]: “You idiot! He was the most talented one!”
@G: The beard started in 1981, and stayed with only brief interruptions. I just Simpson'd someone else's blog with Lisa's "Nobody out-crazies Ophelia!" My Paul statement was at least half tongue-in-cheek.
Steve, great pictures!
There is a chance you participated in the same race as my Dad! I grew up near Mille Lacs, and Dad did the Great Mille Lacs Run with another runner friend as a relay (the friend did the first 50K, Dad did the second). Can't recall if it was '82 or '83 when they did it.
I recognize the place where you are at in the Mille Lacs picture. I haven't thought about this race in awhile. Great stuff!
Did I pick the best day EVER to come back to the blog world, or what?!?!
Despite the fact that you have ALWAYS been a skinny bitch you are looking quite handsome there, friend. Hubba hubba (<--- that was meant to be lewd and inappropriate. If it was interpreted in any other way I apologize)
In other news, I may be coming to Minneapolis, MN in the spring (you have good weather when? From May 3rd from 4pm-6pm? I will try to hit the vast window of acceptable climate in MN)
Anyhoo, you ARE obligated to have coffee with me. It is not an invitation. It is a fact. :)
Steve, checked with my Dad, and it was 1983 that he ran the Great Mille Lacs Run, so that was the same race. Cool!
I know this is a weird comment but you look so much like yourself in those pictures (doubly weird since I have never met you in person)
Dang, you're a hawtie!
Except the last 3-in-1 - not hawt (cuz that would be weird). Very cute though :)
"Barfi" has such an unfortunate name for such yumminess. I've only ever had it in Indian restaurants - I can't imagine how delicious it would be homemade.
Observation: When you are not running - you smile :)
@Jean: My brother and I ran as a relay two of the three years of that race and I DNF'ed doing the 100K the other one. Seeing that I'm carrying a hammer handle as a baton (my brother's little joke - it's mounted on our trophy for winning), 1983 was a relay year, so your dad and I were in the same race. That long stretch of boring highway is on the east side of Mille Lacs, but I can't say exactly where.
Great pictures Steve, thanks for sharing!
You look like an Olympic caliber runner - great form, and I like the faded 1970's style color prints.
@Anonymous: No one who's seen me run would say I have good form! (but thanks)
I love the picture of you at the TCM in 1983; a spectacular finish time too, 2:43:06! That is amazing, simply amazing.
@RBR:
(speechless)
