Re: A custom loathsome to the eye, ...
I don't smoke. Never tried it. I am *that* square. But Bob, the shot is really nice with one nitpick from such a non-smoker as me. For all I see this guy could be scratching his upper lip or just thinking about some, say, good photograph to take... Were you smoking back in 2005? I don't remember? Cheers!

Re: A custom loathsome to the eye, ...
I really like the pic. In 1914, my grandmother was in nursing school, and her physician told her to take up smoking because her blood pressure was too low (90/60). She quit when she was about 70, and had stubborn high blood pressure and emphysema. As the dean told us on our first day of medical school, "Half of what we will teach you is wrong. Unfortunately, we don't know which half."
