Bet you didn't know it, but I thought a lot about the armed forces when I was a senior in high school. But, more truthfully...I thought a lot about the armed forces GUYS that were in San Diego all around me. Marines, Navy, etc. I dated a few of them. Top Gun was so popular earlier and I lived near a Navy base...how could I not? Maybe Ice Man was waiting for me, right? Sadly, I can honestly say that there were never any groups of hot guys playing volleyball on base when I went by the barracks. Myth busted. And, the guys have to wear orange safety vests while on their motorcycles on base. Not nearly as sexy as Tom Cruise's black leather jacket and tight white t-shirt. Another myth busted. How did I start on this topic? Well, I shot Alex's senior photos tonight and he told me he's going into the Air Force after college...and it got me to remembering my senior year. A little different than his, but still worth sharing the memory. Alex laughed at my sad, pathetic jokes...so he's my friend now. Thanks Alex and Clare for hanging out with me tonight, I truly had a blast. Alex is in the Explorer program, and so we got a cool pic in his uniform. He was also kind enough to indulge me in a classic Reno 911 pose. Love that show!
