A friend from high school sent me this photo the other day. It’s a portrait of me that he painted. A painting… of me.
I am just amazed at the likeness. I really love this.
But part of me says, who am I that I deserve to have my portrait painted? What an amazing thing. Priceless.
Thanks, Ted!

Tiny Boy, maybe age 3: “Mommy, he’s really tall! Look, Mommy! He’s really tall!”
Mommy: “Yes, he is. Now let’s concentrate on your food.”
TB: “He’s really tall. He’s really tall. Is he a giant? Is he a giant?”
Mommy: “I’m so sorry, sir.”
Me: “No, I’m not a giant. But when I was little, I ate lots of veggies and they made me extra big and strong. Do you eat vegetables?”
TB: (nods, eyes wide)
Me: “Good. Eat your veggies and you’ll grow up big and strong like me.”
TB: “I will.”
Be very careful when choosing your exercise routine. I just did 1100 steps in a Super Target that cost me $225.
