Like a Time Machine

‘VE FOUND A new use for the Internet Archive!!! I can dig up old photos from previous versions of Doxos - from back in the day when there was no subdomains, etc.
Like, here’s a picture of my friend, Parks, from terribly early in the AM on Thanksgiving day of 1999 (we’re at Krispy Kreme on Ponce):
Here’s my family from that same year. My Grandfather (RIP) on the far right. This was the last holiday we were all together - I’m thankful Donald and my friends convinced me to go.
Here’s Rick, my former housemate, and I standing in the rotunda at St Gregory of Nyssa. I’m guessing Mardi Gras (by the beads) but I could be wrong
We used to throw some amazing parties. Here’s two shots from Christmas 1999. How often do you get your priest AND your favourite pr0n star in the room at the same time?

I remember the last time this was on the blog (in 1999 or so) I got so many hits because I said the guy’s name that I took the picture off the page! Well, guess what? The Archive held on to it!
This last picture is a bunch of SGN friends from Pascha in 2002 - literally Pascha. This is the Spring I was Chrismated into the Orthodox Church. I had left St Gregory’s a few weeks prior to this photo. Susan, Tim, Homan, Jim and Nancy.
Thanks to the internet Archive I can have nearly as much fun digging up old photos as I used to have when they were all in family albums.
good grief, i looked horrible without a full beard! someone should have told me to grow it on out! :-)
i’m not sure i like this time capsule thing. heheh
Thanks for the archive link. I discovered two pages of a blog I thought I had deleted and lost forever.
