Happy Birthday Chris! (Updated)

Chris Goolsbee turns 20 today.

I’ll be offline most of today as Sue & I are heading down to Olympia to celebrate Christopher’s 20th birthday. I’ll bring along my camera, but here are a couple of shots I made of him when he was home recently on Spring Break. He came with me to watch his brother Nicholas compete in the state Hi-Q finals. Since Chris’ team from three years ago were state champs, it was fun for him to come back and say hello to the teachers that still run the program at AHS.

Happy Birthday.

Speaking for myself, I’m amazed that I have a twenty year old kid! It seems like I was twenty not too long ago myself. (In reality it was 27 years ago!) I have a photo of my somewhere on my 20th birthday. I’ll dig it up and put it here if I can find it. Meanwhile you’ll have to make do with my reasonable facsimile. Those of you who knew me when I was twenty can attest to the resemblance, though I think Chris is better looking than I ever was. 😉

As promised here’s a photographic update, fresh from the scanner:

Chris and Sue on his first day.

Finally, my favorite photo of Chris & his mom, taken on Vancouver Island in the summer of 1991:
