In response to a few emails: Yes. The picture below is really my mug. The only difference is that this picture was taken in San Diego on St. Patrick's Day last year. My hair was longer then. I have since shaved it off. Secondly, yes I do believe that war is not only inevitable but essential in maintaining some semblance of stability in the Middle East and the world at large. An unfortunate part of being the most powerful nation on earth is using that power in ways that may frighten and offend some of our less rational citizens. Keep waving your olive branches... it is the right that war has afforded you... just understand that like Spiderman's uncle said, "With great power comes great responsibility!" Thirdly, if I was to be in a position to choose female fashion, I would choose simple yet engaging ensembles. Nothing trendy so you can forget funky 1920s style athletic shoes, Kate spade bags or designer jeans. If I was going to pick a few catalogs that had the types of clothes I like to see on women, I would have to say Banana Republic or Abercrombie & Fitch. Of course, I like basics like jeans, tee shirts and a nice clean pair of New Balance 602s on a gal for day to day stuff but skirts, strappy heels and a nice shirt for dinner and an evening out. And yes, I am for real.
