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.
