 Those who know me now, know this is very uncharacteristic of me. Those who knew me then, would not be surprised.

This was me BC (Before Christ). I had a tendency to drink to excess, after which I'd usually suffer for it the next day. Glad I gave it up altogether, and I don't miss it AT ALL. As I look back, I can only shake my head, laugh at myself, and praise the Lord I'm still alive!

Hope my kids can learn from my mistakes.

Snapped and processed this while on the road (final day of the challenge) using a laptop that was way overdue for calibration. Can only hope the colors turned out okay.

Convert from raw, levels, curves, (slight) DE-saturation, crop, resize, usm, add border

Nice colors, a bit too dark in the center where the eyes are drawn, with not enough visible detail.
