Flashback – 1967
|
I hope Paul Reubens doesn’t come after me.
There are some photos that simply speak for themselves.
That was me in 1967. Way before Paul Reubens created his Pee-Wee Herman persona. And while most of us don’t remember what we did when we were 4 years old, looking back at a picture like this makes me wish we could.
Another Year Older
So today is my birthday – I know, shameless plug. But as each year adds another tick mark to my ticker, I tend to reflect back on my childhood. When my mom passed away in April 2006, I spent days going through all of the boxes of photos she had accumulated. I found all sorts of pictures [like the one above] that took me back to a place in time that I either didn’t remember at all or could remember vividly like it was yesterday.
And while I know the memories do fade over time, at least I can look at a picture and relive a brief moment of what I looked like many years ago.
Current Day
Today here in Park City, I am waiting for the sun to come out so I can enjoy my day. A day spent with my daughter, my wife’s granddaughter and of course, my wife. And 10 years from now, I will look at the photos from today and reflect back, bringing back those memories.
That should be interesting.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And that picture made me laugh. I thought Pee Wee even before I scrolled down to start reading your post. You poor thing.
Happy birthday!
Happiest of birthdays to you!
nilsa – Thank you. And I did the same thing when I saw that picture… thinking I was ahead of the curve.
dagny – Thank you for the birthday wishes.

Happy Birthday….. PeeWee….. LMAO…..
Happy birthday, Marty. I was negative 10 years old when you were born.
Happy birthday, Marty. I love that picture. 🙂
So long as you never were caught masturbating in a nudie theater you should be safe.
Happy birthday!
Happy bday!
10 years from now, you’ll be able to purchase the memories you want and have them implanted. And you’ll be able to have a young Sharon Stone for a supportive wife.
I can’t wait to reminisc with you about our implanted childhood memories!
OMG! I love the little man pic!! Hope your birthday is simply spectacular!

Belated Happy Birthday mate. Trying to get caught up on blog posts from the past two weeks. That’s a, er, classic photo by the way 😉
