Hanging With My friends



Hanging at My Friends' House
San Fransisco, CA
December, 1982?

I went to visit my friends during the Christmas holiday this year.  They are Jewish so I didn't think we would be even mention the holiday.  But they were certain that I might be melancholy because the was the first  Christmas that I wouldn't celebrate with my family.  I didn't care about missing this holiday.  It gets on my nerves.  But my friends decorated anyway just to soften the moment. And I was touched by their gesture.

And when I look at this photo now, more than 40 years ago, I am stunned by how thin I was.  At that time, I thought I was so damn heavy.  At that time, we didn't really have an obesity problem in our nation.  At that time, I only needed to lose 10 pounds to get back to my ideal weight.  But I thought it was so far out of my reach.  When I look at this photo today, I am disappointed my myself for letting my weight problem slip away from my.
