Well, it's been a long, LONG time. But, there have been several -- namely one -- request and several life changes that need documenting. So, it's time to do an update.

I'm starting this update in a backwards fashion. Mostly, I'm updating you on my life and it's current adventures not by detailing them with words and photographs, but by doing a flashback. To be precise, I'm going back to the early days of my "adult life", when I spent most of my free time with kids -- ironically.

These kids... and one adult.

$10 to anybody who can name the little blond girl with the navy sweatshirt and the pigtails.
