This picture is 27 years old. I was 39 years old at the time. The occasion was the Jack Benny party my husband and I hosted to commemorate the year seven of us turned 39. (For our young readers, Jack Benny was a comedian who, even when in his 80's, said he was 39.) Someone wanted to take my picture out in my backyard, and I said, "Wait! Let me get a bag over my head, since I can't find any cucumber slices. You never know, years down the road I might have a blog with friends who don't want us to show our faces." How clairvoyant of me!
Then our friend John, who was also 39 at the time (and who wore a T-shirt that read "The older the violin, the sweeter the music!"), said, "Do you suppose you are going to want a picture of me on your blog?" and grabbed a blindfold.
Too bad j's husband didn't get the memo.
