Me and "Leave it to Beaver"

Here's a photo of me on my commuter bike, arriving at Los Medanos College long before the students.
Life is good.

Always good to put a face w/a name and I'm always amazed at how much different the actual face is different from the envisioned face.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday and what happened to your cowboy hat? Do you teach engineering or something else that requres a tube to carry plans/large drawings? Never mind, you've already said you're an artist. Which is something I can only admire from a distance....

That is indeed a bright light. Sometimes I come home long after dark and that puppy lights up the world. It toasts rabbits at 30 yards.

I commute about 8.5 miles each way. I've only missed done day this semester and only because I had to carry in a big framed print. The baskets are new this semester. In this photo I'm hauling a laptop, clothes, lunch, and a camera bag full of stuff. The tube is a cardboard carrier for rolled up large photo.

I really do smile. I look way too serious in this photo. I haven't been practicing my "mirror smile" like my 17 year old daughter.

At <cough> 54 <cough> I'm thinking that's about the best possible comment I could hope for.

Happy birthday!

I hope when I reach 54 I look that good. Oh, wait. I'm about to turn 57 in a few weeks. Sigh!

My 57th is in December. I prefer to think of it as the 29th anniversary of my 28th birthday.

Wow, that gives me a year. I found out that our new Plus 50 jersey stands for more than just age, in my case it's weight! :eek:

You should be our poster child!

Maybe we could also come up with a caption contest. What caption best fits your photograph?

I wasn't going to ask how old. Once you're over the hill, it doesn't make any difference how far......
