A serious blast from the past …
Don’t you laugh! I know you want to, but it would hurt seriously
At 5:20am this morning I switched on my computer and checked email while having the first cup of coffee. I almost spit a whole mouthful of joe all over the monitors and keyboard when I ran across an email my brother had sent.
There was this strange young boy looking at me: awkward position, rosy cheeks, well-fed and dressed like a Bavarian clown. It took only a fraction of a second before I realized: THAT’S ME!
If I can trust my memory, that photo was taken 28 years ago in 1981 for my confirmation (I’m supposed to be a protestant).

My brother warned me that there’s more where this one came from … oh dear!

It is me – I know it, because I was there – I still have blonde hair, it’s just invisible

I like your outfit, reminds me of one of the boys in the Von Trapp family. Now only if you could sing.

OMG, Tobi! Is it really YOU? You don’t look anything like that picture! And all that hair! Where did it all go?

A good lesson in how old photos may haunt you,though, the ” Trachten ” look worked for you at the time.;-)

I shall find that suit and wear it the next time we meet at the Encantado Resort – let’s see what you think then

I suppose its entirely coincidental that Google adwords offers 5 different hair restoration potions…

Are you sure that’s 1981? Where is your angel flights and silk shirt. Are you sure you weren’t auditioning for the Local Play for the “Sound of Music”
