Old Friends
JIM
This happy looking fellow is Jim. We went to junior high school and college together and spent to many nights on motorcycles (he rides a Ninja 900) and at bars. Jim is an actuary with an MS and is one of those people born to be rich and powerful. I am actually counting on moving in with him when he buys his first castle or mansion, it will save me a ton on mortgage payments. Right now he lives in Florida in a beautiful house with a swimming pool and a Jacuzzi, this makes for a great instant and cheap vacation.
This is a picture of us snow-shoeing at Bear Lake (Rocky Mountain National Park) during the end of 2003, Jim had just flown from Florida and got to experience -26 degrees temperatures. It was funny but I couldn't talk him into winter hiking a 14'er after this trip.
This is Jim trying to use the Jedi mind trick to get me to go back to the car.
JEFF
The guy next to me is Jeff, I have known him since I was 6. We went to elementary school together and spent many summers on Cape Hatteras in North Carolina. Right now he is personal injury lawyer wearing a great pair of Nikes. Jeff and I go way, way back which is why he caught the bouquet at my wedding. Jeff just recently got engaged to his long time girlfriend Erica and they will be married in November, 2006
Myself (and my freakishly long arms), Jim, Jeff, Jen, and her maid of honor Vinetta at my wedding.
TIM
This is my buddy Tim, He lives in Camden with his boyfriend Steve. Tim is the web designer for the Philadelphia Orchestra. I've been trying to convince him to finish his college degree since I was 20 years old. He is one of the smartest people I know but seems to resist getting ahead in life and stopped, about two semesters short of finishing his BA Tim and I make one hell of a right brain left brain pair. We new each other back when we both worked at a Barnes and Nobles in Willow Grove, PA. It is amazing how far life takes you.
