Old Pictures...of me, Before and Later

This weeks old photo features me in 1997 on the phone with Lynne. For 18 months, Lynne and myself had one of those long-distance relationships, she was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin in Madison whilst I finished up my studies in Bradford. I’m pictured doing what I did virtually every Sunday evening during those months, having a marathon telephone conversation with her that often lasted over an hour. Other than the big mop of jet black hair, you’ll notice that since we were still tethered to the phone at that time, I had to move an arm chair to sit by the phone in front of the front door which we closed off with a curtain.

 OK, so Lynne insisted that since she had an old photo of her up on the blog last week, that I too must have the same….see below a picture of me when I was (I'm guessing) between one and two.
