Excluding my huge'90's glasses, my thin to the point of alopecia beard and my patented "this gray sweatshirt makes my belly look flat" method of dress, this is a swell picture.
This was taken on May 24th, 1995 at the House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin. It was my first visit to the place, but Lisa was a veteran and had recommended it, and good on her - I loved it.
It was on this trip that I bought her a lovely glass paperweight that still resides in our home today.
Note also my red winter jacket, which Lisa had absconded from me. I ordered that from a glossy advertisement in the Sunday paper, and gladly paid extra for my name to be embroidered on the chest. It was a different time, what can I say?
Ah! If we knew then what we know now!

That's about the time I got my first Internet account, all text, 1200 bps modem. When I tried to explain to people what it meant and could be used for, they looked at me like I was pontificating on the virtues of collecting shoestrings.
