Thanks for the links. I’ll let you know when I have the mullet picture done…

Tragically, the rest of them were lost in the Great Hard Drive Crash of ‘05 (along with several months’ worth of journal and other such things… I’m now notoriously anal-retentive about backing up my files and urging everyone else to do the same).

These aren’t from that particular job, but they’re similar:

And I’ll definitely need to see that mullet picture, so I expect you to get to work in Photoshop.

Jonathan: Thanks! :)

Katherine: One of these days I’ll Photoshop a mullet onto me, just to quantify exactly how revolting it is on the Richter scale. A nine, anyone? :) As for the message, Mary was telling me about the high school essays you used to correct and all of the interesting turns of phrases you came across (like the boy who wrote that he knew someone who “caught” cancer — and to think that all these years I thought it wasn’t contagious!). So yes, you should post some of them on your blog. If/when you do, leave a link here.

Mary also told me she was supposed to deliver to me a message of sorts. But she forgot what it was. Care to fill me in?
