I was so much older then - I'm so much younger now.

Ha! Not much to say today. I've been listening to my wife cuss at me while she edits my book. Seems I'm a terrible person for using Capital Letters where they are not supposed to Be. Oh well, she's getting at least 30 cents an hour for it - which is more than you earn at Walmart so I'm not sure what she's complaining about?
So with nothing to do, I've been tripping down memory lane again and stumbled across some very low resolution images from my old days performing with the band. They are so low resolution I don't even know if they will appear here...

Anyway, I remember this first image well even though it's tiny - taken in the town I would love to live in if we ever move to Scotland - Ayr (I'm the one in the white shirt). Loved playing there because the audiences were superb and the dressing room was always clean but the best part was they always paid for the accommodation which was never a hotel - always a little house by the beach somewhere.



Then I found another image and thought OMG! This was taken as we were setting up equipment and trying it out before an open air gig in the Borders. Look at the grey hair!!



My dear wife has had my features to play with now for five years - we all know a woman can make a man feel younger - but can she make him LOOK younger? I would have to say yes. This was taken three years AFTER the grey haired photo and one year after meeting my wife...


I really was so much older then - I'm so much younger now. Thanks Darlin' :)

  1. Love is natures way of making sure you stay young, naturally... And it sure feels a hell of a lot better than botox or lipo! :)

  2. LOL Until I met my wife I never dyed my hair. Now I really, really sympathise with folks who do. That stuff burns the hell out of your scalp. I sit there while my wife puts it on and I could scream in agony. I fear I may lose an eye one day as she does my eyebrows too :)

  4. Best hang on to her....by the time you are enjoying your second childhood you'll actually look the part. Could you ship her over here for a few months? I'd like to be young again too.

  7. Why do you want to look younger? You can't be younger, and younger isn't better than where you are now, just different. This is my grandfather talking, but it seems sound. He does keep cropping up in relation to your posts. Oooops! Sorry!:D

  8. Interesting, as since I got married and we had a child, I look bigger and older. Hmmm! What's that about. (Okay, I have gotten lazier now I know I am loved. I'll say that much.)
