I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

A Year in the Face

Well, it's been a long year. I was about to apply for a job when I realized that I hadn't updated my profile photos (linkedin.com, blogger, where ever). We went to the big computer and fixed that. And then I noticed, why yes, I do look different. And since I got a lot of flak for not posting the "goatee" image, I thought I'd do a comparison.

For your edification and enjoyment, me, last year, with a goatee.


Can you hear the neighbors commenting on the nightly news, "We always knew he was up to no good"? Yes. This is why I don't wear a goatee. Pure evil looking. Be glad I didn't post the grinning goatee photo. You can practically smell the brimstone.

And now, here is today (my new profile photo).


I can see the difference. How about you?

The sulfurous yellow tint is a bit disconcerting.

Cassie, I thought it fit the subject of the picture.

You clearly have your eyebrows set to Eeeevil in the goatee picture.

Mer, well, if you're going to look evil, might as well work it.
