Day 150/365

When I was your age:
  • TV was called books.
  • Video games didn't exist.
  • Sugar was prized.
  • $1 was a fortune.
  • We exercised by walking to school uphill both ways, through the snow, over broken glass, high humidity and tropical heat. With an anvil on our shoulders.
So really, nothing has changed.
-Robbie

P.S. Do look at the image for a moment. It grew on me - perhaps it will grow on you too.

  1. I was only 2 when your dad was this age, yet I can't look at pictures of William without seeing Jim in him. It's like I'm looking at pictures of him instead.

    I agree, it's a great picture. I love his "exhausted knight" look. It's tough work, slaying dragons.

  3. @ Aunt Eve...I've heard that a lot! Really...

    @ nice Becca, I agree now that I notice them. It's funny how consciously unseen objects make a photo and you don't even realize it happening.

    @ Wesley, W is not the youngest. :P
