Smooky was hiding on my hard drive!



Having a bazillion gigabytes of storage is great when you have years and years of project files to save (and save again on a back-up drive). However, if you plop digital files in the wrong digital folder, they may languish there for years.

Imagine my surprise at seeing Smooky in a completely unrelated client folder. Skye Moorhead took this portrait and others during a "writers' photo day" a few years ago. I am close personal friends with Skye, so I got to see her favorite shot of each writer.

Why I filed the shots where I did is anyone's guess. I can't blame chemo brain, but I do use industrial-strength hair dye to cover my gray. Maybe the fumes?


What have you lost—or found—on
your hard drive?

I call this photo "smirking Smooky."

She speaks!

And, hey, a good smirk is a thing of beauty. I can appreciate a menacing scowl as well.

BTW, the smirk in the photo is the same one you used on James when we were on vacation. You know, the usual type argument.

James: What are you looking at?
Sue: -smirk-
James: Do not.......I said do not!
Sue: -smirk-
Mom: Why are you yelling?
James: She's looking at me.
Mom: Sue, don't look at him.
Sue: -smirk-

James forgot you saved his life a few days prior. Remember the life saving incident?

It's true - I was a very bad girl. I sometimes committed the crime of looking at my brother.
