Of course, I wouldn't do it with everyone but it would be nice to have a face to go with the name (I could later write down the circumstances in which we met). I know I have talked to wonderful people that I would like to get to know better but when looking at the cards later (after fishing them out of my purse), I have no idea who is who.


Aaaaaaaaaugh!!!

Willy-Nilly picture taking drives me nuts!...... But, in fairness, I admit I am not normal......

I am one of very few people in the entire world who is not on Facebook and am frequently chastised for not wanting to be.....

I know my picture is on Facebook though.....Out there.....Somewhere.......looking far more zaftig than I want to admit.....Even worse -- LOOKING DOWN!.......aaaaaaaaugh!!!

Oh well, Trish, I am sure you are a nice lady and you did say "ask them to hold for a quick picture." But........

Can't I just go on pretending I look like I did in the 70s.....NO! I did not say "MY 70s".......I said "THE 70s." (Oh how I loved my shag haircut and my Triumph GT6.....(sigh)

And, btw, cataract surgery was a wondrous thing. BUT! Uh Oh! And, Oh My!

Anyway, Trish, if we ever meet, I will do my best to help you to remember me.......but please don't take my picture.
