For week 21 of my 52 years celebration, another picture of me from 1993, standing outside at dusk. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

For week 20 of my 52 years celebration, from around 1993: me in a comfy rocking chair in my bedroom. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

For week 19 of my 52 years celebration, a selfie from my early 20s (before they were called selfies). Fun fact: this picture was the first time Jenn saw me (we met online in 1993), and yet she wanted to continue the relationship. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

For week/year 18 of my 52 years celebration, I actually don’t have any pictures of me from age 18 to 20, so I’m jumping ahead to a photo of my 21st birthday. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

For week/year 17 of my 52 years celebration, from 1987: the entire Form 7 of my college (or in US terms, the senior class of high school). I’m in the center of the second-from-top row, wearing my “Head Librarian” badge. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

For week/year 16 of my 52 years celebration, from 1986: my high school (college in NZ terms) form room photo. I’m in the blue sweatshirt in the center, with my best friend Donald next to me with his eyes closed. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

For week/year 14 of my 52 years celebration: me on a trip, probably somewhere around age 14. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

For week 13 of my 52 years celebration, another photo from the 1970s; this time a portrait of me. #ThrowbackThursday #52years
