Thanks Mbo! actually those photos are from several years ago; I am essentially the same, now, I guess: a few more grey hairs, though now my hair is redder than in the photo (thanks henna!) and quite a bit longer...down to the middle of my back now. and of course i have put on a few pounds; does this happen to everyone once they hit their mid-thirties? Those photos are of a vegetarian who ran five miles a day...
