Uh, yep, that's me in the picture. It doesn't really do me justice though -- I was standing in the center at the
time when I heard "click whirr click whirr click whirr..." Rob never did get the hang of that full-auto
shutter feature. (The whole roll looks exactly like this.)Click on the image to see another photo of me.
I would like to thank the nice person who noticed my husband didn't fix it so I am always listed
first. Rob told me he forgot to change a "meta" string which appears on each page. How naughty! I
sent him to South Carolina for a year as punishment, and I flew to Texas and Italy for a couple of months just to
rub it in. Let that be a lesson to you!
It isn't the new year until you start dating your checks correctly.
My husband thinks our cats are all hardware and no software. But the kitties and I know the truth...

The gray kittie is called "gray poupon." Rob named him that because, and I quote, "he has a little gray poo-pan and he dumps little gray" -- you get the idea. He's completely gray except for a tiny white tuft on the center of his chest (you can see it in the photo), and a tiny white tuft on the very tip of his tail. It almost looks like a piece of white yarn goes right through him! Rob rescued him from the pound in 1990 at only four weeks old.
The white kittie is called "white kittie" because, well, he's white. I rescued him from Rob's brother Brian (Hi Brian!) last year at about 4-5 years old.
