Ancient Forum's Picture the Poster

Well, here's a quick snap from today, since it's been a long time from the last time I updated my photo...

Smoking a house cigar at the cigar lounge during my lunch break



And here's a coin....my first ancient coin purchase. This is what started me on the journey:

I love cigars, and I wish I could have one once in a while. But I'm afraid that if I did, it would draw me back into smoking a pack a day of regular cigarettes, and after three years now of being a non-smoker, I loathe the idea of going back to a tobacco addiction. Have a few extra puffs for me!

 

I will... though I probably will be cutting back on that habit starting this year. More money for hobbies, and probably better for my health too. Besides, the whole Cuban and cigar thing is so stereotypical. Might be a cultural thing, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't cut back on it some....and health and finances seem like two excellent reasons to do so.

 

Time for an updated photo, a few years older & pounds .

 

Good pics all.

Great pic, Randy

Me and the fam on our first trip to Disneyworld back in December. It was also for my son’s 5th birthday. Was an awesome trip.

 

Heading out to a wedding. It's May the 4th after all...

 

There's something unusual about your photo, but I can't quite figure out what it is.....oh wait, you ain't wearing shoes.

 

Hey Jay, there is something about that photo that looks familiar. Here is a photo of me in Seattle. I ran into these characters.

 

Edit

 

I'm not wearing shoes because I'm Canadian, we don't wear them in the house

@Orfew that's a big tip jar, how much did they soak you for that picture? Hopefully less than the centurions in Rome

 

There was no set amount for the picture. I think I put in $5. As for those centurions in Rome, particularly those surrounding the Flavian Amphitheatre, I suspect they make a pretty good buck.

 

I'm American. I don't wear shoes in the house.

 

I am glad to post here again.

 

Me, a few years ago with my Mother and my Sister.

 

And you still look exactly the same @Topcat7!

 

Wow, your Mom is a doll!
