The company I work for held our annual summer barbecue today. The food was terrific, and the weather was perfect (70, breezy, and overcast - i.e. no sunburn risk for the cadaverous-pallored likes of myself). Even better, they had caricaturists there once again, as they did a few years ago. I sat for one for the first time in a few years.
For reference, this is from 2015:
And here is this year's model (to quote Mr. Costello):
Alice and Deanna were kidding me earlier this afternoon about the apparent growth of, er, "the girls" in the intervening three years; I advised them it was a textbook case of artistic license. :D
Anyway, it was a fun day, and I'll be picking up a couple of frames to hang these up this weekend. :c)
Have a pleasant Friday, everyone!

Since I quoted Mr. McClanus earlier, I thought I should share a few songs from 1978's This Year's Model, the second in his amazing run of classic albums (from 1977's My Aim Is True to 1982's Imperial Bedroom). First up is a great live performance from the Capitol Theatre in Passaic NJ of "This Year's Girl":
And here's another from the same May 5, 1978 show; probably my favorite song from that album - "The Beat":
Man, were the Attractions an incredible band or what? Going to be listening to some EC this weekend, for sure...
