Throwback Thursday - 2009

by Skip Cohen

It's Throwback Thursday, and since today is exactly sixteen years since the friendship with Sheila launched, I had some fun digging through old images. While I know I might have shared a few of them in the past, according to the "Rule of Throwbacks," they can be shared again if you're too old to remember sharing them previously...and I qualify.

At the end of April, 2009, Molly the Wonder Dog and I packed up the car and headed east from Playa Vista in California to Ohio. Sheila and I had decided to move in together.

The movers had packed up my apartment, and we hit the road the minute they were done. At the time, the movers refused to ship liquor and wine, so the car was loaded with 24 bottles on the front passenger seat floor and another 40-50 in the trunk.

The trip was a kick, and I remember it bothered me that Molly had to stop fewer times to pee than I did! I let her drive across parts of Oklahoma and Texas since it was all open road, and there was nothing for her to hit! LOL

Meanwhile, the shot at the top and the one below left me speechless. I still don't understand the cars, but a 72 oz. steak, back then, I probably would have been stupid enough to try and eat the thing - but "free limo service" plus blocked arteries - How could one resist?

If you haven't gone off on the hunt for your Throwback Thursday shots, what are you waiting for? Old photographs are a never-ending reminder of how incredible the career path most of us chose really is. What would life be like without photographs?

Happy Throwback Thursday!
