Yes! Attending Reunion
Comments:

A lot can happen in 30 years, I'm sure we all agree. I got into music, had some albums out in the '80s with a band, and after a falling out with the record company, went indie and haven't looked back since. Took a few years off from music when I moved to Oregon in the early '90s. There, after a lot of false starts, I met Chrissy, the woman who became my wife. She's softened my rough edges somewhat. I've gone from typical commando musician (bad food, rough lifestyle)to a surface veneer of suburbanity (is that really a word?). I'm now a married homeowner with a kid and a dog. Didn't see that one coming. I even eat healthy now. Luckily beneath that veneer, all the weird angles and rough bits necessary to make non-geriatric music are still in place.

Don't know if I'll make it for the reunion (I'll be saying "no" for now), but I'm glad I had the opportunity to check in and perhaps make contact with a few more people.

This a fairly recent photo taken while on vacation at the Oregon coast.

My wife Chrissy and I revisiting the site of our wedding, about a month before our daughter was born.

Getting ready to bring Lulu home from the hospital. She's three days old.

The twin pillars of my universe- Chrissy and Lulu.

A recent picture of Lulu, wearing something that's almost an exact miniature of her Mom's wedding dress! Chrissy's dress was custom made, so we were amazed when we found this- there was no question, we had to buy it.

This is Allie, the only member of our household as yet unaccounted for here. We had talked about getting a dog, and went to the Humane Society to look. Allie had been there seven weeks and I was afraid she'd be euthanized if we didn't bring her home. She's been completely blind since birth. Her retinas didn't develop. The whitish-blue color of her eyes are due to cataracts, which we haven't had taken off because it wouldn't help her vision. Allie can chase a stick or a ball with a bell in it as far as you can throw it- and she can do it at night! You don't have to know where the ball went, she'll find it. She can do this in our back yard, which has trees she has to dodge; and she gets around without trouble in our three-level house (as long as we don't move the furniture around!). She can be taken to a strange place and learn its layout in a few minutes. In a blackout, we follow her.
