Exposure
This morning I awoke at 4ish, unable to further tolerate the heat of my apartment. This after suffering through a month of no heat when I couldn't put on enough clothes to stay warm. Damned if you have it, damned if you don't. I opened up one of the windows in order to get some of that outside 20-degree Fahrenheit cold air in here. What a relief it is!
Meanwhile back at the funny farm (favorite saying) <-- stolen from P&T -- what the hell does one do at 4 a.m.? After what seemed liked days of charging the battery of my iPod, I opted for listening to some wakeup music (listening inspiration via my favorite snotty Brit Nicholas - which I say with deepest affection, mind you.) So I've been sitting here, futzing with the blog as usual and plugged into the iPod. The music's been blasting in my ears for HOURS now.
About that new header graphic. Uh, yeah. Photos taken a few years ago by a dear friend who happens to be a professional photographer... and look at the size of those smiles. A photograph is multilingual and can speak 1000 words... or so. Well, well, well. I'll only say that the person sitting next to me (and obviously not included in this viewing of moi) had me smiling like an idiot all the time. More on that story? Sure. One day I will. For now I'll just sit here and stare at that lovely visage of my alter ego. That is, of course, until I get tired of looking at my mug and change it... again.

Oh yes - and what exactly were you smiling at, oh pretty one?
We think we should be told.
Let us know in advance if we'll require some handy tissues.

A 'teddy' bear? Yeah, like we believe that!
You sure it wasn't a bear of the big hairy man variety?

Of course it was a bear of the big man variety, you silly schoolgirls. Not particularly hairy though. And come to think of it, there's a bit of a resemblance to Tazzy. :-)

Ah... nothing like a headshot -- or seventeen -- to put the personal touch on a site.

Hey Al, who's your best bud in NYC? How quickly they forget....

Like I said above, you should keep it like this. It looks good and the pictures are flattering, too.
