Memories Pour In

Memories Pour In, originally uploaded by daradactyl.

I keep finding stacks of photos and a new set of memories gets triggered.

In this stack of polaroids, there is my favorite photo of my Mom and Dad. It was New Years, 1984. It was probably the biggest party my anti-social parents ever had. They look so happy. It was the last great photo I have of them. Later that year, my Mom was diagnosed with a brain tumor (same one my Dad had this year) and things were never the same.

Also in this stack, I found Gatlinburg photos from a trip I took in my Freshman year of college with my new college friends. I'm pretty sure that trip was the basis for a screwball comedy in the early 80s. It came complete with overheated radiator.

And finally, the photos my Dad took of the TV screen when he got high score on Ateroids (Atari, of course.)
