    Throwback Thursday: Senior Moment

    Published: Mar 27, 2014 · Updated: Mar 27, 2014 by Kevin Williams | 2 Comments

    seniorWho came up with this Throwback Thursday stuff anyway?   Does it mean I have post pictures of myself from that bygone era (otherwise known as "youth")?  I think maybe I'll just stick with throwback recipes!  Ah, this was me as a sunny senior at Middletown High School in Ohio getting ready to graduate in 1990.

    It does hearken back to a more carefree time.  I was still over a year away from first meeting Elizabeth Coblentz and creating The Amish Cook column.   When this photo was taken I still had my sights set on studying journalism in college.   The Amish had just begun to interest me, as I had completed a research paper on them in my junior year.

    But journalism was my focus.  I was about to start a summer internship with my hometown paper and that would get me even more interested in journalism.  I would spend my soon-to-begin summer scratching out stories and savoring every moment.  But That would change.

    Eventually I switched to a philosophy major, which comes in very handy these days when philosophize bout why I switched majors.  Oh well, there you have it.  My "throwback Thursday."   I guess other takeaway from that senior portrait is:  1)  cheesy laser-like backgrounds must have been popular in the late 80s/early 90s.   2)  I always did like that sweater, it survived well into my 20s, and 3)  not crazy about that haircut.
