Are you insinuating that I have a girlish handwriting (sniff)… oh well, I glad all that loopyloop writing excercises we had to do up at the blackboard in the first grades turned out something 😉 (imagine a bunch of seven year old brats standing up there with a long paintbrush and glass of water each struggling to make those loopy a’s and b’s and so on. Small waterwars were of course inevitable but quickly stopped by Ms Wormwood) And yes, **Freckafree** , thanks for the ingenious valentine packed with sweets 🙂 Ahm schavoring de lascht on now 😃 ---

When I finally decided to go to red, I found my senior picture & realized that was pretty much my old color! I like it so far. I’m just thrilled to be healthy again. VCNJ~ ---

Late to this thread, but what the hell. This was taken right after a recent haircut. Unfortunately, my hair has since slid into something much less chic due to my hatred of mornings.

Okay, I hope this works…[here I am](http://img75.imageshack.us/my.php?image=spoonspubwu2.jpg). This is the only digitized picture of me. It’s a publicity-type head shot I needed when I was doing some broadcast announcing about four or five years ago. Why they needed a photo when all they wanted was the voice is still a puzzle to me, but at least it left me with (IMHO), a fairly nice photo. I’'ve grown a beard since, but…it’s still me. ---

I don’t have any pictures of me yet, but here’s my 11 month old [Susie](http://s176.photobucket.com/albums/w197/nuttybunny1/). The middle picture is her at 10 months. The last one in the robe is her most recent. We were trying to get her to stand up, but the slippers must have felt weird on her feet because she refused to put her feet on the floor. It’s still one of my favorite pictures of her. ---

[/QUOTE] That’s a great picture, **Spoons**. A penetrating stare. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it before. Note to others: with the beard, his usual ponytail, and going to law school, he now looks like “D. R. Spoons, Desert Lawyer”. Especially after acting as an extra in that Western. 😃 ---
