countdown to the scary age

i've tried to run. i've tried to hide. but 30 keeps sneaking up behind me. so i decided that i'm going to face it head on. look it in the eye, and shake it's hand.

when dylan got engaged i put together a slide show for the engagement dinner. i had to scan a lot of old photos, many of which (since we are only14 months apart) had both of us in them. and since i was already scanning, i thought it would save me some time and trouble later on to just go ahead and scan the rest of the usable photos, assuming one day i might want my very own slide show.

and today is that day my friends. i am looking 30 in the eye, and i'm going to make you look with me. or at me. or, well you get the idea. this bad boy of a slideshow is extremely long, and i promise, after my birthday (sunday, august 27th) i'll take it down and go back to the other slide show.

let the pointing and laughing commence...now.

ps-notice how i was rockin the trucker hat way before anyone else decided it was cool.
