These are my closest friends (so close that I consider them family really). In the front row from left to right we have Butch, Mindy, Ernesto (who is engaged to Mindy), Mike, Marissa (Mike's girlfriend...that's why she's sitting on his lap), Sara (who used to go out with...), Chuck ("The Man"). In the back row we've got Michelle, Gary, Chris (he's kneeling...he's Mike's little brother but he's not quite that little), my ever-so-lovely wife Rita, Jed (who married Michelle on Sept. 12th of this year...no really, he did...I was there), and finally...your's truly, the goofy white guy, Tone (thank you, thank you...no applause please, just send money).

This picture was taken at our Christmas get-together in December of '96, so while it's not exactly current, we all basically still look the same (meaning, we all still look damn good! ;-)

Notice the "ChiaHead (TM)" sitting on the coffee table there? That should give you an idea of the kind of quality gifts we give each other every Christmas. We're a group of real big spenders. Yep, we sure are.

Here's a picture of me in one of my grumpier moods. That's my wife Rita doing her best to try to cheer me up (I can't remember if it worked in that particular instance though).
