Wow, y'all sure know how to feed a modest man's hidden vanity. What a response to my proposed new profile photo! The consensus seems to be against the Mount Rushmore look, so, reluctantly, I share another photo with you, one that has a little more cheer. Bear in mind that this was taken while I was fixing my second flat in three days. (Here's a picture of Otis helping.)
Hey! Schweezey is back! Go get your fill of goofiness and golf.
Sixty hours until I'm at the airport for Hawaii. Hilo had a flood advisory the other day, but it looks to be over now. It is 81 and partly cloudy there as I type this. My philosophy statement is about done and my lesson plan is about ready. All systems are green.

You are kidding, right? Will resist the obvious comments. Still prefer the 'original' but I can see a theme here.
only comment is that it's too bright, at least on my screen. can't see enough detail. jf
Your adoring public longs for a photo that simultaneously oozes philosophical wisdom, twinkling mischief, and grizzled Brooklyn muscle. Luckily you present these elements most of the time without even trying - a holy trinity of Socrates, Loki, and Wolverine.
Unfortunately, the shiny rims on the spectacles totally undercut the dark red heavyweight-champ utilikilt. I say to myself, "This man has much knowledge and an appetite for fun, but I'm not sure he could hurl a 42lb weight over a 17-foot-high bar." Perhaps if you were crushing the spectacles in one hand while holding the bike high above your head, like He-Man posing in front of Castle Greyskull...
Soapy
Make it Epicurus, Loki, and Hank McCoy, and you've got a deal. I'll bring the props and meet you at Yuen Lui...
(I didn't know Prince Adam had a bike - I thought he rode a tiger.)
I like the Greystone idea, there just aren't enough intellectual he-men role models in the world today.
Why doesn't this Utilikilt ever make it to Cascadia? Also, do you and Courtney ever wear something as crazy as bike shorts when you ride?
That is my bike-riding kilt, as you can see. Sometimes I wear shorts, but not much anymore. Otis usually wears pedal-pushers (duh) or capris that have "cancun" written on the butt (long story).
