A Winner!
One of the basic lessons in photography is "Fill the frame." Logan is living that lesson as he nearly fills the door frame. He's big -- the sales clerk who sold him the suit couldn't believe he is only fourteen. Even though I knew he would be wearing his new suit to today's speech tournament, I was surprised when he came into my bedroom at 6:00 A.M. completely dressed, with jacket and tie. In the picture, his pant legs need straightening; I took care of that, but couldn't get him to pose for another photo. If he gets points for self-confidence and for being the best looking fourteen year old on the planet, he'll come home with a medal!
When I dropped him off at school, a swarm of six girls immediately surrounded him. Maybe he needs a canister of pepper spray.
I retired as a technical writer years ago. Since then I've spent my time reading, writing, rabble-rousing and raising my two orphaned grandsons. Because they are now grown,I still spend time reading, writing, quilting, and in advocacy for many causes. Don't get me started on politics. My day-to-day life is fairly quiet, but my fantasy life is soaring, and I take mental excursions almost as good as the real thing.

Logan looks so professional! Is attracting a swarm of girls a "bug" or feature? I imagine Logan getting a lot of practice at diplomacy.
ReplyDeleteThe girls said he looked rich, like Donald Trump. Is that an insult or compliment?
ReplyDeleteLooking rich is probably a fine thing; it conveys being put together--price doesn't keep The Donald from getting clothes that coordinate and fit him well. Attracting attention and popularity only because people perceive that you're wealthy--now that would be problematic!
