Ditka used to be more zaftig and have a more choleric mien. Not that he might not have slimmed down since I paid attention.

Speaking for myself, I'm not interested in beauty per se -- I wanna see expressions, smiles, skeptical eyebrows, personalities.


Okay, that's what I'll shoot for. It's what interests me the most, too, even if the subjects do prefer the most flattering shots. There isn't a lot of personality in a row of smiles.

Especially when it's a fixed smile that never disappears. Wink

And especially when their eyes are closed in mid-blink.

(Warning: I do that all the time. Embarrassed )

oops, my post came after sublime's with the ditka lookalike... I just meant my riposte re who was the greatest coach.

I dunno if Lombardi was or not. There are a few challengers.

Final weather update:

Friday
mostly cloudy
high 55/low 45
Extensive cloudiness, much cooler NNE winds. Some sprinkles could build to a few showers. Readings 12° below normal.

Saturday
partly sunny
high 54/low 42
Becoming partly sunny, cool by early May standards, but with lighter winds. Inland highs: Upper 50s.

Sunday
partly cloudy
high 64/low 48
Generous sunshine. Though cool at the start, temperatures rebound substantially thanks to the sun and more southerly winds. Highs 10° warmer.

Monday
partly sunny
high 73/low 53
Sun yields slowly to increasing cloudiness. Strengthening SE/S winds, warmer temps. Growing prospects for thunderstorms at night. Lower shoreline highs.

To everyone leaving today, bon voyage! It looks like I won't be able to take Friday off of work -- I'll be in court most of the morning. I'll see everyone Friday night at the Duke of Perth.

Thanks for the good wishes, Joe.

You beat me with the weather, so here's again for those who like it more pictured :wink:

Regarding the sun looking at us from behind the clouds: not too bad.
(But thinking that today I'm in the warmest region of all Europe ... [28°C now = 82°F])

Look at the change in weather from Thursday to Friday. This is entirely accurate and agrees with weather reports on local Chicago radio stations.

Gus, if Brooke won't do it I would be happy to oblige.


Which, rip up a Brett Favre card or give me a stick of butter? Laughing

Gus, you bring your own damn stick of butter, I'll bring the saltines.

Osso's right, I'm fairly well recovered from a week of eating, drinking, and carrying on in New Orleans. Ready for another fest this weekend!
