47 Of Your Sparks

  1. Great group shots, but it's too late in the evening for me to try and find you in each of the ones where you didn't specifically identify yourself.

    Love the wedding photo - ha!

    Did I ever mention that TKEs at my university were as******...er, um...jerks? Glad RIT's TKEs aren't/weren't. Reminds me...dated a guy once who was headed off to RIT...hmm...

    Oh, uh, sorry for the stream of consciousness moment there...

    I'll have to come back and listen to the music when it's not 11:00 at night and I'm afraid of waking others in the house...

     
  2. Nice stroll through memory lane!

     
  3. tiggerprr Says:
  4. Photographic evidence to support my suspicions...you'd be a fun guy to hang out with. ;)

  17. Piacere Says:

One of Scooby's offsprings is actually the dog that appeared in the movie "Against All Odd". Scooby passed after tangling with a bobcat in Colorado.
