    My new Avatar

    Hi all
    The recent thread about Avatars got me thinking about mine, so today I changed it to the photo below, it's a picture of my Grandfather and Father with a soccer ball somewhere outside Aberdeen, not sure of the date, but I like it. I think it shows how times have changed, notice how they are dressed to kick around a ball.



    Anyway I thought you might like to see the large version of it.

    Very nice photo. Most of the older family photos were taken by both my parent's siblings so we don't have many... It's a real sore spot for my father.

    That thread had the same effect (or is it affect) on me. I'm going to have to look for a new avatar image when I get home tonight.

    Great photo, Glen...!

    Lots of avatar changes lately! Must be Spring fever, or some such restlessness.

    My new one is the logo of the "Cat's Eye Pub" in Fells Point (Baltimore), MD - one of my all time favorite saloons in the world!
