Haven't posted a selfie in a long time...

The other week I got a haircut.  I tend to like how these things look after they've grown out a bit.  And I've lost some weight lately.  Been trying to take better care of myself than I had been, so among other things I'm eating a lot more fresh veggies.  I definitely think that working on the book took a stressful toll.  There were a lot of things in that which were a real struggle to write.  But I did it and I think I picked up the visage of a real author in the process.

Anyhow, this is how I'm looking lately:


Not bad for a guy in his early fifties!  Every so often I get asked how old am I.  It's become a lot of fun making people guess.  I've been told that I look everything from 45 to 23!

Well, we'll see how long it lasts.  Maybe when I hit 70 I'll be getting mistaken for a person in his forties :-)

  1. Chris you look terrific! I would have sworn on the Good Book that you are in your mid thirties at most. What is your secret?

    By the way, my wife says I look 15 years younger too :)

  2. Thanks Grundy! My secret? There really isn't one. But I've never smoked or been much of a drinker. I enjoy a few glasses of Dad's favorite wine every year on his birthday, my personal way of toasting his memory. I definitely don't vape! The harshest drugs I take are those to manage my bipolar disorder.

    Just good clean living, is the best I can offer :-)

    A LOT of people have noticed how those of us from Generation X look like they're barely aging. It is a very real phenomenon. I guess we truly are the generation that's in our 40s to 60s, grew up being expected to be adults, and today acting like we're in our 20s!
