end of an era

My mother bought me a university-themed blanket, back in 1986 when I first went off to college. It is literally thread-bare now, after a few decades of regular use in winter seasons. My hands get tangled in stray loops of cloth, and I can actually see through it if I hold it up in front of my face. It's time for it to go, to be replaced by a warmer blanket.

Yes, even back in those days, I slept on a mattress on the floor.

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye.

photographs (and 2010 icon choice)

TerryWhich of these two small images below would make the best choice for my new icon?

icon choice # 1icon choice # 2

I tend to favor the first one for the better color tone, but the second one probably has the better facial expression.

I have a new photo gallery available here.  They are pictures taken during the recent visit by my parents to the Twin Cities.  Here are the photographs.  Click to embiggen.
( Cut for 6 photographs... )

Although group shots worked out fairly well, all of the attempts to photograph me solo would end up getting overexposed.  Attempts to compensate (with camera settings) caused low exposure of everything else in the image, and compensating (with software) for that issue then caused strange colored skin tones.  I'll leave the analysis to the shutterbugs.
