If you scroll down you'll see that picture of me that I posted on my birthday...I keep looking at that old picture of myself standing on the
front lawn of our house on Lincoln St. in my Mickey Mouse shorts holding
up a book, smiling and giving some half-assed wave to the camera. I was
probably 4 years old, and there is something about that smile...it's
not quite happy...at first I thought it was because I was facing into
the sun and just squinting, but the more I look at it, the more it looks
like I was not all that happy to be there taking a picture with
this stupid book! Forget the mouth, you can always tell a real
smile in the eyes.
Maybe I was just anxious because the sun was blinding me...take the picture already!
I seem to have that same strained smile on my face a lot lately.
My Mom did always say if you make that face...
