That is a seriously nice photo

Yeah, Dominic Monaghan was Merry in LOTR, et al - he's kinda cute in a
hobbit-y way

Beautiful posts, Audra and Chris.

Hot guy, BTD.

I felt older at 29 than I do now at 31 and I felt a hell of a lot older at 24 than I do at 31. Weird.

My own parents' stories are amazingly boring. Astonishingly so. Oh well. They're my mammy and pappy and step-pappy and step-mammy or whatever and they're the only four parents I have.....except for my ex-step-mammy, Michelle, for whom my mom was lamaze coach back when my pappy and Michelle's ex-husband were still best friends and my own mammy and pappy were still married, although it was around that time that my mammy was dating/doing my friend Daryl's pappy Nelson and Daryl's mammy Nora Mae had just married his friend Chad's pappy Carl. But like I said, quite boring.

My mom's is as boring as toast. My dad's...is mysterious. I only know snippets, and more situations than complete pictures. Inattentive (possibly alcoholic?) mom, mostly raised by his aunt, military boarding school as a child, failed out of college, joined the peace corps, worked in Colombia in the peace corps, eventually earned his masters, and is now the most upstanding, prude person you'll meet (save for my mom, of course). It's clear to me that there are HUGE chunks of that story that are far more interesting that I'll eventually fill in somehow.
