My wife CAN be wrong at times


My wife has been all over me. Why do you want all these pictures of yourself? Are you that vain? No. I’m not. Reference the Orwell quote above.

I’ve observed that lefties seem to melt as they age. These fellas are approximately my age. Yeah, seriously.

Keillor, Moore, Letterman. M-E-L-T-I-N-G.

All my life I’ve been told I look like a rock star. Not a fantasy but a fact of my life. So what face have the real rock stars earned?

Grace Slick, Patti Smith, Stevie Tyler, Barbra Streisand.

Why do I keep photo-ing myself? Because I am on the very precipice of 68 years old and I am still not dead or ugly.

Well, he earned his face. Did I?


Unretouched. Have I earned this face? Thinking I have.

What have I earned? Ask my wife. She should know, when she’s not pissed off.

Where I started from. What do you think?

One of the benefits of always being right. You have the face you deserve. Beautiful.
