June 19th. friday

Mike Dawson read the blog and wanted me to see the small change that has accrued since 1982. His wife is still as beautiful as she was then and I still can't see much of a difference in my appearance, but Mike thinks he looks different. Take off those damn rose colored glasses Mike, this is 2009 and the real world is upon us. Now here are both pictures, you decide

There is a much more disturbing thing that happened yesterday that I have to mention. My beard has fallen off of my face. For the first time in 37 years I do not have my beard. My mustache is still attached as you can see because it has not lost a single hair. You see, now I can see that my looks have changed a little bit. Thank God Sharon new me before the beard. When she got up this morning she looked at me and told me I'm just as pretty without the beard as with the beard. So with this picture, you can make your own decision. I only want positive comments coming back. As my daddy always said,"if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all.

While I was about to post a picture of me with my NEW,NEW look, two of Catie's close friends came in and exclaimed how Harley looking I was. We're talking mean. They begged me to let them pose with me for the picture. So how many of you old farts have that happen? Jim Bailey, your right, they love us bald guys. Epecially us handsom dudes.

How do you like them apples? The only problem I see are the allergies I've had the last two days with something that is bugging my eyes. They are all red and watery. Hey, it's hard being perfect, but I keep trying. As Sharon always says "very trying"

It's late now, Louis and I just came back from Kokomo and I'm ready for a rest. BS today was very good 179 for breakfast, lunch 172, and dinner 178. I just had an egg and two pieces of crisp bacon and 1/2 a pita. Lunch 4oz. of Corned beef and a small tossed salad, and a glass of ice tea. For dinner two spare ribs and a glass of water. This is less food than I used to eat in one meal.
