    I get the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) and am often amazed at what I see. Here are just a few of my favorites. If you'd like to get APOD'd, go here: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/

I Just Can't Get Over It!

Nelly_dad_head_shot

It's a Dad I never knew, one I bet I'd like.  He's having entirely too much fun in his sister's hat.  You look at him in those early photos and he just looks miserable.  But by the time he moved off to DC with Edna, it looks like he began to lighten and brighten.  Hey, check this out:    Left_half_of_my_dads_face_1  Right_half_of_my_dads_face

<=This is the right half of his face.  Looks happy, a little impish.  Might be a little tight; but it's basically a warm and welcoming face. 

Here's the left half of his face>  Is that scarey or what?  I'd say there's near terror in that eye.  Kinda creepy, too . . . in an 'I'm about to explode' kind of way.   It's a shame but the 'I'm about to explode' Dad is the one I knew.  He was so uptight all the time about nearly everything.  Truly seemed frightened of life. 

Oh, what the hell.  I have those two faces, too.  Time to move on.
