Self Portrait

I showed you my swollen jaw after my tooth extraction. In the interest of fairness, you should see my face at normal size.


The mirror whose bottom edge you see in the shot may be antique. My father dabbled as an antiques trader for a time after he retired and he believes it is. It belonged to my mother's parents. It sat in a closet at my parents' house until I offered to put it to work adorning my dining room wall. It looks terrific, though probably better without my reflection in it.
