This coulda been me

The post was from Facebook, and it says this post is from India, but if you told me this was a photo of me at Uncle Bill’s in 1982, I’d believe you. I had that haircut, that generic gray sweatshirt and I still have a whole case of Star Wars figures

After working at the County in the Justice Center I was flabbergasted to have an office in which we could open the windows and get fresh air. Little did I know that within a year that little perk was on a very short list at a job from hell.

The Force was not with her

Today in Batuu, a staff member taught me how to take burst-photos with my phone and then select a single frame that gives the illusion of magic. Unfortunately, Joe has never seen Star Wars and only held his hand out as instructed. Ashley, however knew what to do, and I was able to capture this sweet photo of her being force-choked in front of the Millennium Falcon.
