Yep.

Actually, I do some personal assisstant-type work one day a week, part of which usually involves running errands in the boss’s Porsche.

I’ve already posted my pictures, but I can’t resist showing [this photo](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b86/kkobayashi1/PICT0017s.jpg) of me and my SO on a bike ride last Saturday. We did the Metric route (100 km = 62 miles).

OK, forgive my apparent laziness, but [here](http://www.myspace.com/benjaminduffy) is a link to my MySpace profile. There’s a picture of me splashed right on the main page, and then you’re just a click away from several more.

The lure of seeing more pictures of me is what has MySpace’s subscriptions soaring into the millions. 😃

(Of course, I’ll happily supply more pictures via e-mail to anyone who wants to PM me. I just can’t remember my Snapfish or Yahoo! passwords right now.)

Wow. I didn’t know that I could ever hate someone based solely on their myspace. Pretentious much?

Ha. I’m just kidding. Maybe…

Nice pictures, anyhow. v:)v

Arggh. Is it really pretentious? I tried soooo hard to make it not pretentious. I guess that means that I must be REALLY REALLY pompous in real life, if it shows even when I’m trying to hide it… ☹

Do you have a page? Well, I guess you must, if you saw the other pix.

Don’t let this come off as reciprocal asskissery, but…in the close-up self portraits you have up on Flickr, your eyes are insane. And by “insane,” I mean “so striking that I can’t come up with a better adjective than that.”

Two thumbs up! (and two fingers, if that’s your thing)

Thanks. This particular bike ([Vision R-82](http://www.bicycleman.com/recumbents/vision/vision_r80.htm)) is no longer made, but there are others, like [this](http://www.sunbicycles.com/sun/recumbents/ezTandem/ezTandem.htm).
