Portrait of Dad

"This is you, dad!" my son told me after drawing this masterpiece. I don't mean to brag, but I believe my son may be an artistic genius. The good news is that he almost exactly captured what I look like right now in my life. The likeness is incredible.
The bad news is that he almost exactly captured what I look like right now. the likeness is incredible.
I need to hit the gym. Those arms and legs are like toothpicks! And apparently, I could use a positive attitude adjustment. Note the look of grim stoicism instead of an optimistic "I can conquer anything" smile of confidence. I didn't realize that my mood was coming through so transparently to my son. Well, he's taught me a valuable lesson through his art. Also, is he making a statement about my posture? I see a definite lean there. Thanks, son!

  1. Kids are too honest aren't they?! I hope you weren't offended. It's funny but I don't remember you looking like that when I saw you last but wow--what a month can do! Apparently you've been downing the ding dongs to supress the sorrow of leaving your family. Buck up! You will see us again in a few short months. In the meantime, you can remember our faces by the 5 million pictures on my blog. Love your new background by the way. Also, super cute picture of Donavan! (not so cute of you). Finally, I was quite impressed that you even remember Don Johnson's & Eddie Murphy's one hit wonders. Did you have to google those? If not, your brain is bigger than the 2010 winner of the spelling bee, and you are old. Good work!
