20 years...20 years.  It is so hard to fathom. 

Mr Eshrich (sp) made a statement in photography class that really none of us understood..

"Look at your friends and classmates today......in 20 years you might be friends with a couple of them"
As the years went on that statement became more and more true...Is that sad? 

20 years of losing.... losing hair (hello 5 head), losing short term memory (living like a rock star..is just not good)  losing money (thank you tech stock fallout), losing girlfriends (sorry Leslie, I was just an ASS back then), losing friends.

and...20 year of growth...growing old, growing up (and out..) growing a bank account, growth in knowing who I am as a person, husband and father....and never taking that for granted...(well, my wife might argue that point once and a while)

So...what am I doing today...I am a 17 year veteran at the Boeing company (locations always tbd...currently everett) as an IT professional...living in Snohomish, Wa.  I have been married since 93 and Kanna and I have a 4 year old named Molly..I absolutley love hitting the trails on the weekend with my mountain bike (usually solo....it is so hard to find people that like to #1 Be outdoors #2 Excercise #3 take mild risks on a mountain bike)...  Also love to travel when I can ...usually the tropics  (I hate the NW in the winter..)  Love the Florida and Hawaii trips....If I only invested in stock instead of beer and cigs and...when I was 18-25 (ok...30ish) 

Take care all.
