Items

I've really had nothing interesting to post lately. My sociological imagination has been on break (in case you haven't noticed, the intellectual content of this site has drastically reduced lately). Yesterday, I almost posted about how I looked in the mirror and saw two gray hairs sticking out amongst the brown. But, I wasn't sure I wanted to publicly expose my rapidly aging head. Now it's out in the open and I feel better.

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of attending yet another Grove City wedding and were delighted to spend some time with some of our dearest friends. I thought I'd post a picture from the weekend...me and E.A.P.. I'm so happy that she and I have remained good friends, in spite of distance and the busyness of adult life. It was great to see you, E, and thanks for letting us crash at your newly moved into abode.

This photo does three things:
1) Displays our wonderful friendship, and uncanny ability to coordinate what we are wearing.
2) Shows my newest short haircut
3) Displays my large face problem, despite my attempt to conceal it my positioning my head slightly behind hers.

My face always looks enormous in photographs...and I think having short hair emphasizes it. Oh well. I think I'll grow it out again, until it gets to cumbersome in the Virginia August.

Anyway, hopefully soon I will post something actually interesting. Hope everyone had a joyous holiday season. God's best to you all this new year!

p.s. The title of this post is in honor of my Dad, who always refers to things as "items" - and often causes great confusions when he asks, "Can you get me that item?" (as though we are supposed to know to which particular "item" he is referring).

It's ironic that my wife has the opposite problem, althoug her face is small in real life as well as in pictures. Just kidding, but seriously - her head is really small.

It's true, Red, you wife has a very small head, but it is proportionate to the rest of her...and she's one of the most beautiful women I know, so I think it's ok.

I think "Items" is a very apro-po title for your posting, as it contains many items. Items is a great catch-all and whichever item you decide to get, it can never be wrong. Items are all in the perception of the person who is looking for it. What is the correct item to one, may not be for the other, or even the requestor.

Anyway, your face is not big. Your smile is and that is why you think your face is big. A big smile is tremendous and I noticed that you always smile in pictures. You've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in your heart.

One more thing...
If you want to show a smaller face, you can start taking pictures with a "blue steel" look, or better yet; MAGNUM!

E.A.P said...

Babe, it was awesome to spend time with you, your big face, your world-lighting smile, your hot hubby, and your hiliarious wit. If it makes you feel any better, I totally have a double chin in the picture so whatever face-bigness appears in the picture pales in comparison to my chins. Oh, and my palor. Still, you're my good friend so you didn't even point that out in your post.

You love me, you really love me. (sigh)

proportionate to the rest of her? Careful.

Mair said...

Gee, Red...you said your wife's head is small, and I basically said "So is the rest of her!" What's wrong with that? She's a slender woman (and very hot).

mair, rest assured that redhurt thinks your spouse is as hot as you think his is.
