Yep. I was being totally serious. As a former professional photographer and painter whose favorite specialty in both media (good thing 89th has been eaten by the lions in The Collosseum) was women, I meant that. There is that same inscruteable smile in that photograph. The photographer and the subject created an instant classic.

Agree with all of the above.

Now how about some more pictures!

Yes, great pics!

katie, that is a wonderful picture.

Now such is apple ... a most beautiful woman!

You best post this pic with a big HI[/b] in the next coffee room !!! .

She already DID, katie. (cept it says "hi" )


(she must have one of them fancy track-ball mouses. I can't draw a straight line with mine, to save my ... well, if I HAD one, I couldn't save it. ) Guess, I'll have to go "crooked to Hell"

Good picture, apple.
Is that at YOUR house? I'm thinking not.

Bob

I'm thinking the family home of her mother from the description she gave of it some time back, judging from the porch and neighbor's home in the background.

Yup Bob ... nailed again ... & with the cap off the bottle ... again ...
My apologies apple* ... I'm glad the pic made it to a new site.

Hey Apple, there's a guy named C.V. Alkan over in THIS thread

http://www.pianoworld.com/ubb/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?/topic/2/7879.html

who is trying to search for your neat "hand warmer" trick you mentioned several months ago. Several folks mentioned that you HAD a good idea, but nobody could find the actual thread.

I posted what I THOUGHT you had suggested at that time, but I thought you might go over and straighten out what I may have been mistaken about.

thanks,
Bob

Sure beats Jodi's hand warmer trick that involves the backside of a cow. :p

C-YA around....

Apple, that is such a wonderful photo. I don't know whether you have been the heart or soul (or spleen) of this place but you have been vital.

I guess it's been kind of hard for you to warm up to me for some reason, but I do want you to know how central i think you are to what made this place unique...but then you hear that from all the boys....

Plus, Plus, and PLUS, Mr. Grand, unless one is nailing one of them "left hand only" etudes, there is the nagging need for that SECOND critter!


Perhaps a better word than "nailing" could have been found ... it has such an "unprofessional" feel (? ... yet another vocabularic conundrum ) to it, at least in the veterinarian context.

There's probably a "little know codicil" making it unethical to even use the word at Vet-Conventions.

Perhaps jodi could fill us in?

gotta go
Bob

Steve, great pic. You two look so vibrant and happly.

I never did do my building pics, but I've been collecting them and *will* share them with you for comment in one forum or another.

Here are 4 generations of my family (sorry, not a great pic, but all I could locate at work). On the right is my grandfather, who passed away last year. On the left is my father and I am in the middle. That is my oldest daughter squirming around. She is now 5...
