Billy in the flesh....

I have an image of each of you in my head from posting...and it never fails that, once imagined, a picture of the real person spoils that image.

Soooo...I am feeling mean and will post a picture of Billybud to spoil all your images....taken by a friend at a local haunt that we ride the bike to and listen to music and drink a beer or two.

Hit "photostream" at top of page...

I'll leave this up for a few days before deleting....

Actually not that far off from the image in my head. Right down to the beard. I would have put you in a suit, though, during the week.

For a curmudegon, you are a handsome dude. Always good to see our gender married "up."

For a second, I thought that avatar was Donovan :lol:

It pretty much fits my mental image, too.

Good shot...I actually pictured you a little older. But for some reason, like Spence, I pictured the beard. DOn't know why. 8)

Dang boys...ya'll had me in a beard? That is good. I wonder why? The southern thing? academic thing?

Derek...My wife and I do look younger than our age...she is slim, keeps her hair longish and has not a trace of anything but natural color...looks in early 40's IMHO but is actually 57...and folks think I am younger than I am..the old baby face, I reckon.

Donovan...She Who Must Be Obeyed will adore you....

My wife is 35 and I am 50. We met when she was working her way through college and I was playing golf. (same course I still play) She is working to be a nurse practitioner and I am working to be retired. ---Which may not happen if our current expansion goes belly up. :lol: . We are a pretty good match even though I am some years younger. She is an older soul and I am just old. :oops:

Not at all what I pictured. You are always talking about going out on the bike. I was thinking beard yes...but longer...with long air in a pony tail, leather jacket...you know the look.

It's kind of like radio personalities. You get an picture in your mind what they should look like and they never seem to match their voice when you see them in person.

Since some of us are playing this game...here is a pic of me with my daughter.

I had you somewhere between Jimmy Buffett and Willie Nelson....Willie's beard, hair somewhere in between...and a little more tanned.

But you remind me much more of Hank Williams Jr.! And you have to be 85 lbs heavier than I thought. Not a good picture for this guess, but I'd say 6' 1" 252lbs.

I've seen Doss before...I am now tracking his hair loss. (A few more of those Bama kind of games.....) :P

Doss, always find an ugly person to be in the photo, you just can't stack up with a beautiful baby in the picture!
