Parents as Children

Surreal as it is, the way old photos can bring different specs of time into focus, I find it especially surreal to think of my parents as children. Yet, here they are!

Fritz (my father)	Marjorie (my mom)

(I'm knee-deep in another scanning project.)

What's even more disturbing is that if I ever have children of my own, they'll probably find the thought of me as a kid equally improbable. I mean, I marvel at my father's fascination with the invention of masking tape and the lack of disposable plastic products in my parents' youth. My generation still remembers life before the internet. But the 80s just don't seem like they were that long ago!
