This simple blogging format tempts me to create shorter posts, knowing I won't have to kill 40 minutes converting the url and posting to other sites. I like this photo, my second grade photo from Edgington Lane Grade School in Wheeling. I look, and was, innocent. Today I asked my client if she recognized me last week when I beeped at her from behind the school bus as she accompanied her children, in front of her house. She said, "No; at first I just thought you were a creepy old man." Unless it hits her at home tonight, she will probably never realize that from my perspective it is a shock to be called a "creepy old man". It doesn't seem so, but the little boy in this photo is 60 years older, and the guy giving him a hug is 4. Our perspectives change gradually, but it sure is a constant surprise that I am now "Grandpa age", and even a bit creepy to the younger generation. I feel as young as ever most of the time, and rarin' to go at work and home, but perhaps not as "innocent" any more. jbh.
