Check the new look (above)!

And they said it couldn’t be done — at least by me.

Bored with looking at the same old image of myself on my main page, I thought I’d have a little fun by frequently changing it. I’m thinking in terms of posting pictures from throughout my life and careerBlogpic (the one up there now — which I sort of think of as my "Saturday Night Live opening credits" mug — was shot by a colleague on the streets of New York late on the last night of the 2004 Republican Convention), which over time makes for an almost Eric Clapton-like array of different looks — some of them pretty funny-looking after all this time. As with Eric, it will sometimes seem as though it couldn’t be the same person.

This has the added security advantage of confusing the public as to my actual appearance.

Anyway, I’ve been meaning to do this for some time, but I had to do some pretty serious gyrations to figure out how to make the change in the guts of the site.

Who knows? Maybe next I’ll change my greeting, which seems increasingly dated now that the blog is no longer new…

    Dang! I forgot to send Goldman, Sachs & Co. my bid of 35 cents for KR today… should I send it via Western Union Brad?

    If you were in Afghanistan, they would ask, “Al Quaeda?” You would probably say, “NO!”. Next question: “Taliban?” “No to that, too” says Brad. “Mullah?” — you’d better say, “Yes” to that one. First of all, its not that bad to be a Mullah, usually, and secondly, you have to explain your beard somehow.
    But of course, you are almost as old as me, so you can get by with just about anything. . . .

    Alas, poor pinstriped, 1992 model Saddlebred button-up oxford… I knew and wish it well, GoodWillio!

    Actually, Herb, that’s the old Mullah look. I shaved that beard off at the end of 2004. I liked it, too, but it wasn’t popular with the critics.
