the big trip 2002-2003

Party time!

It’s been another fun-packed weekend – one more Halloween party on Saturday (thanks, Robin!), followed by Eric’s birthday on Sunday. I’ll post the birthday party pics tomorrow, but enjoy the Halloween shots now. A rundown of the costumes:

Groundskeeper Willie…………… Eric
Professor Frink…………………… Stephen
Commander Data……………….. Coz
Margo Tennenbaum…………….. Corrie
That Tacky Club Couple………… Jeannine and Dave
The White Trash Cosmetologist.. Me

Yea verily, we were a sight to behold.

Things I’ll Miss

Today’s photo post is the first in a series – people, places and things I’ll miss while I’m gone. Although there are people in Chicago whom I consider friends that I sometimes don’t see for a year at a time, somehow this upcoming seven months seems very long indeed. I vacillate between elated excitement and fear – not so much that I’ll get blown up or arrested or something like that, more that I’ll be lonely and unable to extract the meaning from this jouney that I had hoped to.

Leaving’s like that.
