This photo is intended to be some kind of proof positive that I am a real person. (On the internet, no one knows you're a dog...) This photo was taken Nov. 2006 in Minneapolis; I now live west of Chicago.Yes, this is kind of how I look, except I'm probably even skinnier than you might expect from this photo (I'm 6' and about 165lb). No, I'm not quite as young as most people guess from the photo. Yes, I'm outdoors a lot. No, I don't like to be where people are smoking.Yes, I'd like to meet you; send me your picture and I will respond promptly. No, I didn't write this message just for you; I've just left it here for a while. Yes, I'm kind of nuts. No, that condition is not contagious and it's not really serious. (Well, yes, it IS fatal but the effects accumulate only slowly for the first ten decades or so...)
