Mine is the lighthouse here in St. Joseph at sunset. Thinking about changing it, but don't know to what.

Ok, Little Darwin got me thinking time to change Avatar. Photo of me long, long, time ago. In a place far away. And 60 pounds lighter.

I guess a picture of my ace number one buddy Jack Russell Terrier is kind of lame next to what Beverly has promised isn't it? Too bad it can't show his heart, it's from a lion...

I'm sure the picture of the Jack Russell Terrier will be just a good as a picture of a curly headed topless kid

Yes, I relate to my avatar. WC Fields is my long time favorite comedian, although he was much, much more than a comedian.

My old Jack Kerouac avatar indicated my love for the beat writers of the 40's and 50's, especially Kerouac.

My all time avatar vote goes to Beverly! Yaaaaay!

Eeyore for his cheerful disposition and optimistic outlook. In real life, he's a bookkeeper, auditor, or maybe an accountant.

My avatar comes from "Breaking Away", that coming of age and wonderful fantasy life of Dave Stoller, that first stirred my interest in cycling with the thought there could be a deep emotional layer to riding besides just a huff&puff workout. A few years later I began riding, fantasizing my $200 Univega was a Masi. Allez Dave! You were right.

Mine is a picture of me on the AIDS/LifeCyle Ride last year. It's hard to get pictures of oneself actually riding a bike. I think it makes me look like a better rider than I am.
