2009.01.04 Looking Back

From RooKwiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

While the process has turned my right hand into an arthritic claw, transferring the images from the old RooKery to RooKwiki has given me a chance to reminisce. It has been equal parts embarrassing, bittersweet, pleasant, and funny.

For the embarrassing portions, I suffered through the majority of pictures of myself, in which the camera callously failed to correctly display my handsome élan. OK, yeah, I know I have a big nose, but did the photographer really have to zoom in on it for the wedding photos? And it was unpleasant to look back and rediscover my progression from greasy ugly hair to oily shiny bald head.

Bittersweet was seeing dad, and remembering how good it was to see him, and wishing I could have seen him more.

Seeing pictures of the wedding and honeymoon were all sorts of pleasant. All the people on Galiano was pretty great. The ceremony and reception really was splendid, and S was so lovely. And the week in Kauai was amazing, relaxing, and fun. S was lovely there too, even after she tried to fall off the cliff by the Na Pali coast.

Funny: pictures of Dave.
