Pretty Awesome

Lauren and I had a brief conversation about the website "My Parents Were Awesome". I checked it out some time ago and forgot about it. I was looking today and this photo caught my attention. In my mind, this is what David Sedaris's mom looked like. Except she would have been holding a long cigarette as well. I just finished "When You Are Engulfed in Flames", so he was fresh in my mind. Yep, that's her.

I need to add that the word "awesome" is liberally interpreted for some of these people. I guess if you are related they look pretty cool but most are just lame and unattractive. It's rather reassuring that the 70's and 80's era Europeans look as stupid as the dorky Americans.

Please let's not let big plastic eyeglass frames make a comeback - pointy cat's eyes are ok, though.
