Show and Tell

Thanksgiving is only a few days away. The holiday season is almost here. With this in mind, I dug out the Christmas card (click on image to enlarge) that I sent out last year. Marisa and Missy at Serendipity Design did a great job on the card’s layout and design.

Here are a few more pictures that I found:

This picture was taken at the greatest party of all time, my seventh birthday party.

Me and my first wife - I showed this picture to Tony a while back and he came up with that caption. Very Funny. The woman that i’m pictured with is my Grandmother (1980).

This next one was taken in 1989 at my confirmation party, a.k.a the second greatest party of all time.

This snapshot is from a lost weekend of debauchery in LaCrosse. My good friends Andy (left), Bryan (right) and I are out for a night of drinking (1993).

Kid Rock was nice enough to pose with me for this picture. It was taken when I interned for Atlantic Records from 1998-2000.

A few summers ago Connie and I visited Yankee Stadium. The Indians were in town. Jim Thome extended his home run streak. David Wells won the game for the Yankees. It was a great time.

This is one of my favorite pictures. I’m with the Buchs brothers, Bryan and Barry. It was taken at Chuckfest III.

Good Cop, Bad Cop or Bad Cop, Worse Cop? Jim and I patrol the mean streets of Milwaukee.

I present to you one of the more ridiculous moments of my adult life. From left to right, Tony, Les, Dan, Bryan and Jim are holding me upside down.

True story. A few years ago my buddy Dave had a hair extension attached to create an instant mullet. He then threw a party to show it off. Here’s a picture of he and I at that party.

When I checked into my hotel room the night before Rajan and Tora’s wedding a couple of months ago, I found a greeting card in my room from the couple. It was very nice. It included this original illustration of me by Rajan.

Here I am next to Dan, in a very Daddy Warbucks style pose, in front of Lance and his wife Angel and her sister on their wedding day.

Are you sure that was your seventh birthday? Like the pictures, thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Chuck, for posting these legendary, memorable moments for all of us to look at. I even like the ones that I’m not in, so you know they’re special.

Yet, one that I am in holds a close spot in my heart. I am speaking of bad cop/worse cop. After seeing that again, I believe that is the best image of Jim ever captured on film. It certainly beats “Face on tile, puke on pants” Jim from July 1995.

Thanks again, Chuck. You’re the best.

Wow. The photo of Chuck, Andy, and I is priceless. I think we were actually trying to get into several bars that evening.
