Well, it's true Doug's stupid ex-wife isn't what she used to be, seeing as how she's to turn 55 years old in six weeks.
She's put on some poundage, lardage, and the drugs she takes make her look puffy.
But I'll never forget the first time I saw a photograph of her, taken in the mid-1990s, when she was still thin and lithe and glowing and sharp; and along with her northern Mediterraneac features, there were her long slender fingers and a wonderful aquiline honker.
Being a romantic, franksolich tends to see women as they were, or are, at their best, no matter the passage of time and erosion of age and addition of flab. The wife of the guy who used to mow the grass here, for example, is 82 years old, wrinkly, and circa 300 pounds--but I still see her as she was in 1944, an exquisitely fine young woman.
I know. I'm odd. But one can't help being the way one is.
Well Coach, I gotta tell ya, me and Toots were a helluva lot thinner back in the day, too!
This pic is about 30 years ago!
Mind y'all, we have changed considerable! For instance, they now say I look more like a "Mad Russian', so I doubt I can be identified by this photo! Just in case yer worried about identity stalkers!
I've put on more than a few pounds and "Toots", well, we'll just forget about that one! After all, ya never discuss a woman's weight, it just ain't healthy! Let's leave it as we're both within 50 lbs!
I should add, before I get the shit stomped outa me, the sweatshirt doesn't give her justice! ya shoulda seen her in the "hot pants" outfit I bought her when she was still in high school!!! WOWZA!!!! Lets just say I'd have to beat most of you perverts off with a baseball bat, and she just turned 53!
ETA: Oh, and there's nuttin' wrong with bein' born in the 50's! It just depends on which path you chose in the 60's!
