So.. yesterday on our anniversary I posted this beautiful picture of our wedding day.. 25 year before. I got a ton of good wishes and several nice comments on the pic.

several folks also pointed out that diane still looks as beautiful now as  she did on that august day in 1986.

Quite a few l other pointed out that i however, did not.. For therr benefit, I have prepared this revisionist version of that wedding pic..

I couldn’t help lauging as I made these edits.. but I also had to stop and admit that soemtimes it does bug me that folks assume I’m much older than I am..I don’t know why. maybe it’s the 5000 years of inbreeding in my particular ethnic.. maybe it’s just the luck of the draw on my genes.. maybe it’s stress…maybe its karma.. who knows

whatever the reason.. my appearance is often a topic of conversation.. while no one would come up to aa woman and say.. ‘my you’ve gotten really old’.. but no one ever thinks twice about saying that to me.. Isn’t that interesting ? It may come as a surprise to many.. but I like the way i look. now
Looking a little wierd opens many doors.. no one expects to take me seriously which is helpful when I don’t want them to.. and when I do.. ..
… and .. I couldn’t ask for a more convincing disquise as I try to get kids to open up to sceince.

Anyway.. i often hear that you’re only as old as you feel.. or as someon told me last week.. you may have to grow older.. but you don’t have to grow up..ok.. enoguht of that.. I need to get my beauty rest..

nite all, nite sam
