So, tell me...

[Adsos Letter]

do I look like a member of the old Soviet Politboro in this black suit, or what (jowls and everything)...

Holy Crap!...seeing onscreen, I look like Fred Thompson...Ack!!!

[XemaSab]

1. Da, komrad.

:)

[Adsos Letter]

4. Thanks, Stalin...

:rofl: :hi: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

2. Not at all!

[Adsos Letter]

6. Too kind KW...

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

8. You are a handsome man!

You look so proud in that photo - your daughter's wedding?

[Adsos Letter]

12. yup...here is another shot...

Our minister was a lady, and beth has her daughter in hand... :D

[Captain Angry]

3. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Thompson is useless. You command respect in that suit.

But yeah, you could just as easily be fixing grain prices or something. :-)

[Adsos Letter]

7. I was the father of the bride...

but grain price fixing sounds interesting... :D...I'll have to come up with a 5-year plan for it.

[Captain Angry]

10. Congrats!

I'm just glad you didn't have to beat your shoe on the podium.

[EFerrari]

5. You look like someone who can wear a great tie.

lol

[Adsos Letter]

9. It was fun...and almost 100* outside...they could have

served me as a roast by the time the day was through... :D

[EFerrari]

21. Last time we had to deal with that weather, we took our folding chairs right into

Lake Havasu until the sun calmed down. As I recall, my boys especially enjoyed wrecking furniture with impunity.

(None of us were wearing formal wear at the time. That we remember. lol)

[Adsos Letter]

23. Well, the Bay was close by, and we were tempted...

...one of the groomsmen passed out from the heat...it was that real, real hot spell we had back in June...what a time to have to wear the ol' penguin suit. :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear adsosletter...

You look nothing like Fred Thompson!

I think you're much handsomer...

I like your suit too!

;-)

[Adsos Letter]

13. Peg...you are always too kind...

and I enjoyed that day immensely :D

:hi:

[bridgit]

14. i call that refinement, distinction...

:hi:

[Adsos Letter]

17. I call it glazed from no sleep for the previous 36 hours...

:d :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

15. Honey, you look NOTHING like Fred

You are MUCH MUCH MUCH better looking than he.

[Adsos Letter]

18. Ah, thankyou madame...

:blush:

[JeffR]

16. Lookin' good, adso!

I really wish I were aging with dignity. On the other hand, I've never been dignified at any other stage of life, so it's probably too late to change course now...

[KitchenWitch]

19. I call bullshit on that!

You ARE dignified!

:hi:

[JeffR]

22. You're too kind!

I wallow in my dishevelment, since bailing on my corporate career. Perhaps there's a certain dignity in that. I can hope, anyway.

[Adsos Letter]

25. I agree with kitchen witch on this one JeffR...

clothing has nothing to do with dignity, and you have demonstrated over and over that you are a classy guy...

[KitchenWitch]

26. There is much dignity in being true to yourself.

[Adsos Letter]

20. Trust me, JeffR...

Outside of the military, it is one of the few times I have been in a suit...and everyone who knows me will tell you I am about as undignified as they come... :D

This is closer to the real me (with levis and old cowboy boots):



They could have lowered that bumper a tad, though... :scared:

[JeffR]

24. Nuthin' more dignified than jeans'n'boots

and if I could even get my old knee raised that high anymore, there would be no dignity in the string of expletives I'd utter when I took it down and shook the cobwebs out. Hang in there, young'un!
