[![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/8021/7120027617_d77fbacaed.jpg "Garret") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/71921701@N06/7120027617/in/photostream) He’s such a cool guy, and I think it’s a great picture. Someone was doing an article about the stone company where he works and took this picture. Working as a stone cutter for a few years really builds muscle! He’s grown from that slender kid I remember into this…man. Weird! ---

So he’s responsible for making Steve Guttenberg a star? (someone was going to say it) ---

Congratulations on raising such a fine young man. If you’ll forgive a little observation, I’m not certain how effective he would be at [keeping Atlantis off the maps; that said, he appears to be perfectly capable of making Steve Guttenberg a star _and_ robbing cavefish of their sight.](http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/thesimpsons/stonecuttersanthem.htm) 🙂 ETA: _NINJA’D!!!_ ---

He looks just a little bit like Matt Damon, but Damon has a rounder face and your son has a longer one. ---

Not to be all Mrs. Robinson, I’ll just say that he’s a fine looking young man, and I would have had a huge crush on him when I was his age! 😃 ---

That’s a very nice picture! I had the same reaction to my little brother when he worked at a concrete place, which also buffed him up. He sent me a picture of him holding his two kids, one in each arm like they were monkeys, and it’s the first time I ever thought “Wow! he’s not twelve anymore!!” ---

Your son is very handsome! He also has a very friendly face. He must be beating the girls off all the time. ---

> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > He looks just a little bit like Matt Damon, but Damon has a rounder face and your son has a longer one. That was my first thought, too - if stonecutting doesn’t work out for him, he could become a Matt Damon impersonator! 🙂 ---

Ooh, he’s an angel. If his current career doesn’t pan out, he should try modeling. Very attractive indeed! ---

I was actually thinking a bit young Heath Ledger-ish. He is very cute! ---

I have to say I’m a tad disappointed - I thought he’d be doing some hard-core chiselin’… But he is a good-looking kid - yay for young 'uns who aren’t afraid of hard work! ---

He’s a looker! In the totally not-creepy way. I love black and white photography. ---

He’s spent the last few years learning to do actual cutting, where he can chisel designs into flat surfaces. Next, I think, he’ll start learning three dimensional work. Meanwhile, he made stonework markers for a few family members by chiseling their names. The older folks have already decided that he’s to make their headstones. 😉 ---

Papergirl, you must be very, very proud! And you should be!
