George Orwell once said: "At 50, everyone has the face they deserve." I will be turning 50 in February. I look at my picture and I have no clue what he means! What did I do to deserve a chestnut and grey beard?
Here is an exercise folks. Take a look at my picture (above) and just this once, read a book by its cover. Tell me what you think my face says about me. Leave a comment, send an email, write a whole blog post about it! But somehow, just let me know what my face says about me. Once you do, then read some of my blog posts on this site and see if your initial thoughts match up with how I really am. Write the good, the bad, and the ugly. Express your thoughts with movie quotes if you like. Just make sure to express your true thoughts. Oftentimes, the way a person is defined is different depending on the person doing the defining. In high school, one person called me "Dad"... even though I did not have my first child until I was 35! In college I was called "pooh bear". At the dojo, I was called "the enforcer" for a while. Nowadays I am called Dad at home, sensei at the dojo and senior analyst at work (when I actually go into the office). To me, only one of those names or titles actually fits me, and that is Dad. I will always be Dad to my girls. The rest of the nicknames and titles flow into and out of my life. So, remember your assignment: answer, "What did I do to deserve that face?" and give your thoughts about it.
