Lord only knows where all of the photos in this house are located. I've tried over the past 5 years or so to locate them, sort them chronologically, and store them so that they don't turn green and can actually be located when I get the urge (and time) to scrapbook them. But every now and then another "stash" surfaces. Like today. Al was digging around in that disaster we call the basement storage room and found a manila envelope with a half-dozen black & white photos, including these gems.
These are a couple of photos taken when Al participated in a Fantasy Basketball Camp when we lived in Chicago. This camp, which we could never have afforded, was somehow given to him by our friend, Michael Crandal. It was hosted by the Chicago Bulls, coached by actual NBA coaches, and attended by some of the Bulls themselves, including Michael Jordon and Scottie Pippin. I'm pretty sure this experience would rank #1 in Al's most memorable life events. I'm positive it would beat out our wedding, and fairly confident it ranks above the birth of any of our children. And that's not a disparaging statement...it was really that big a deal!!
Anyway, we believe this was either 1989 or 1990 (why didn't they print the date on the back of photos back then??) so that makes Al around 29 or 30 years old. I look at these pictures and remember exactly why I thought he was so dang HOT! Look at those legs!
Al was quick to comment that his physique hasn't changed a bit. When I snickered under my breath, he responded, "Hey, do you want to compare some pictures of you in 1990 and today and see whose body has changed more?"
No, I don't. And I think he might be cooking dinner tonight if he wants to eat.
