A ship "coming in" meeting a face like that might haul anchor, turn tail and run! Thanks for inspiration with humor in its sails.
Looks like me on a good morning. Any word on what kind of coffee he drank?
Enjoying the playoffs? LeBron seems to handle himself with such a high level of maturity for a young guy. It sure makes it a pleasure to see him succeed.
Have a good day. I'm off to find my swim fins.
Thanks for noticing that uniquely weird photo (which we thought actually fit his comic personae perfectly). Our extensive graphics department puts a lot of thought into photo selection. As for Lebron, you can imagine how I feel about that subject right now. I'll be sure to post some thoughts soon.
Thanks to both of you for adding your thoughts.
