Baby Face. He's Got the Chubbiest Little, Baby Face. Thankful to an Ol' High School Friend, BOOMWA, Who Sent Me This Photo (She Kept Since High School)

Over the weekend, BMW, Brenda Marie White, BOOMWA, contacted me on Facebook to say, "Look what I have!" I had to admit to her, "Brenda, I don't even think I have a baby photo of me in my own house." Not sure why she had this in her collection, unless there was a project of collecting everyone's baby photos from high school, but I appreciated she sent it my way. I tend to forget I was this young once. Edem and his girlfriend were over last night and they said, "You've always worn your hair the same way, haven't you?"

It's weird to think that this lil' guy would be come this big guy lost in his thoughts all the time, contemplating the world. 

Yes, the three-day weekend was spent grading the winter session and getting ready for the spring semester, and all of that begins today...with the snow...the ice...and the hourly emails from students asking if the class is canceled. It doesn't change much in the higher education classroom, even though the learners are bigger.

I just wish we could teach online until the temperatures were above freezing and the sun was scheduled to set after 7 pm when we finally leave campus. 

Back to my neophyte days. I believe there's a similar picture in my parents' bedroom, alongside baby  Cynde and Casey. It's funny, because I can caption this, "Just checking things out, resting my head, and trying to figure our the meaning of it all with a joyous heart and true enthusiasm for this life thing."

Hey, babe. Whatcha doin'?

Alright, I need to sip this coffee and head out to the driveway and clear the snow. The long days continue in 3....2...1...

Lots going on. Things were much simpler back then.
