| Introduction | I am 50 years old, which I find simultaneously exciting and baffling (how'd THAT happen?). Yes, that's my real hair color, but I am a little chubbier than the picture conveys (magically, in my case, the camera subtracts, rather than adds, 10 lbs). The rest of what you might want to know about me you can probably read in this blog and elsewhere. |
