I've been working on backing up my files lately, but I hate the thought of backing up my photos and then removing them from my computer. You know, just in case I might want to look at some random photo from three years ago.

So I picked out my very favorites of all the photos I have in my pre-Flickr life, since 2004. I have more digital photos going back several years before that, but they're on CDs and I haven't gotten to them yet. I figured I'd upload them a few at a time until eventually they're all on Flickr.

These were from a trip I took to Cancun in January of 2004. For the last six years, I've gone to company meetings in warm places every January. It's always been something to look forward to, getting a small break from the drudgery of a Minnesota winter. That's not going to happen this year. I suspect it'll make the winter feel even longer.
