WHO IS THIS GUY?

Yesterday, November 12, was my birthday.  I am now 58 years old. Two days ago, a friend of mine emailed me this photo of myself taken at the Dill Button Factory Showroom in Bavaria, Germany during the summer of 2002.  Back then, in 2002, my daughter was enjoying her first year of life.  She is currently in the middle of spending one week in France as an exchange student.  Back in the summer of 2002 I was 45 years old.  This is what I looked like back then.

Marc Jacobs visits the showroom at the Dill Button Factory in Bavaria, Germany during the summer of 2002. 

Fast forward, 13 years.  Perhaps I don't actually look younger.   I do know that I look a whole lot better.  I know that I feel better.  I know that I am better.  Last night, I celebrated the Grand Opening of The Quilter's Trunk Quilt Shop in Chicago.  I thought it might be nice for me to pose for a picture in front of their buttons so that I could compare my look 13 years later.  Yesterday was my birthday.  I look at photos of myself these days.  I look at myself in the mirror.  It was a Happy Birthday.  The trick is to insure that my next birthday is just as happy.  And all the birthdays that follow.

This is me on my 58th birthday, November 12, 2015
