has anyone seen 2 decades?

as a grade school kid, i'd look at my (8?!) old, graying uncles and think, 'yup... they're adults, they're mature, they've figured out life'. in high school, i thought 'i've grown up, some adults are idiots, most are mature and have it figured out'. in college, i thought about only the day to day, immediate things, w/ a few detours into the 4th dimension and quantum theory, quarks, OBEs, etc. then, finally, new into the working world, i figured out the grand secret... nobody (not the 65 yr old retiring guy, not the plant manager, not the mid-level muddle-managers, not the gray haired folks, not the young folks, not the governors, not the senators/president, not my peers) has anything figured out... so, who the hell is driving this thing? how do we stop it from careening out of control?

now, w/ pilots, doctors, dentists, cops younger than me, and govt folks at or slightly above my age, it's a scary thing. we're just a bunch of bluffers. oh, i can bluff along w/ everyone else, i guess, but i just hope we all don't realize nobody has a clue at the same time... it'd be anarchy.

i just signed up at my high school's 20 yr reunion site... wow, 20 yrs... feels like about 7. 1 wife, 2 kids, 6 jobs (2 companies), 5 apartments/rentals, 2 homes, college, 5 cars, a 401k later, and bam... here i am. where are you?

anyway, snow on april-26 just isn't right... here's some pix from april-1... which isn't quite 'right', either, but closer to right at least...
