Saying goodbye to dignity

I think I am only putting these images up because I am stunned by the shock and the horror of it all.

The first, from a company ID card circa 1992 or 1993 makes my look like one of those guys whose pictures show up all over the media following some shocking and horrific crime. I look like a bank robber from 1973.

What’s with the hair? What’s with the glasses?

After I found this and recovered somewhat, lifting myself slowly from the floor, I then found:

The student Bill.

Again … what is with the glasses? This is 1984 and apparently there was a real concern that the eyes be shielded by glasses with lenses the size of front pane windows of medium to large size family homes.

I surprised the don’t have vertical blinds.

And did I really look that young? I seem to be on the verge of puberty. I now I understand why it was so hard to get laid. Women were probably worried they’d be breaking the law!

I gotta lie down now. This is all very alarming.

    My old roommate from college e-mailed me a pic from freshman year (1988) where I was sporting a Bosworth doo.

    You may have just given me the courage to post it.

    BTW - That second pic looks like teh kid that threw the other guy out in front of the Suburban in Taking Lives.

    Don’t thinkI saw Taking Lives. I’ll have to watch it.

    What’s amazing is that at the time I probably thought I looked like an average schmo.
