I love posting photos

OK, there's nothing too interesting about this photo, but I like posting pics. My mom decided that we needed to have family portraits taken by the same guy who did my sister's senior pics. It was supposed to be part of the celebration for my dad's 50th birthday last week. Even though my dad was less than thrilled about celebrating his birthday by sitting for a bunch of pictures.

But it was OK, because later on we had a big party for him at the Elks lodge with free Amber Bock, which really helped take the edge off the picture-taking. Altogether, it was a pretty good time, even though the DJ at the party was playing ridiculously old music – we're talking pre-rock 'n roll. But that's to be expected at the Elks, where the average age of the members is about 85.
