Congratulations, Rodney!

Also, while I love the picture, I'm really happy my family never did anything like that. One brother would not put down the Wiimote and the other would wear a Homer mask. My dad would be too busy fixing his hair to actually make the picture, my mother would be chain smoking in the corner and I'd probably just be making out with the photographer.

Bob, I've always been under the impression that both of your kids were your biological children, with your current (and AFAIK only, ever) wife. If I need straightening out...

I suppose the fact that our mailman is Mexican is merely a coincidence...OR IS IT???

In the Southwest? Coincidence.

i would have shot this for you for only a few thousand dollars more than you paid. next time!

No doubt your fine work behind the lens is far superior to that of this particular Monty Capuletti, especially given your golden touch with the likes of FFC, but there's no way I could afford you, Sam. Maybe once I'm famous...

for you, special price

Awesome pic, Bob!
We did our church directory portrait, too. We didn't get the "are we done yet" look, but the little one was staring down the camera as if he were Don Corleone, making the photographer an offer he couldn't refuse.

I love your picture!

Bob, your wife looks like a city councilwoman. Your kids look like a centerfielder and a scientist, respectively.

But you...ummm...I dunno, maybe webmaster for a Jason Of Star Command fan site?

so basically, a typical Tuesday night in Vermont.

Heh. Wiimote.

Or, as Uncle Charlie called it, "clicka-dicka"

Wednesdays, Dov. Tuesdays we tip cows in our underwear.

Nice picture Bob, very wholesome.

I think by wearing that shirt you blend into the white wall background incredibly well.

Could we see your family portrait?

My wife actually planned on bringing me a matching shirt (I came straight from work, so we met there), but she forgot it at home. D'oh, well...

Very tasetful picture. With all those polo shirts, it looks like you guys are on your way to play a round of golf or two.

Very nice FT. My family also did the portrait thing recently. Honestly, I can't remember when the last time I was in a pic since I'm always holding the camera or camcorder.

The Homer mask would freak me out too.

SXSW 2008, Ky. Start planning now. Bring the wife. By next March, you'll be well established at your new gig, and The Booger Mart will be an overwhelming success. Bring Fick, too, as a reward for her outstanding work during TBM's first year of operation.

ROAD.

TRIP.

Yeah, I'm always the guy taking the pics, too. Of course, I'm known for pointing at myself entirely more often than necessary. I'm that rarest of breed: the low self esteem narcissist.

Easily the best night of my Texas trip.
