I don’t love either of these pictures, but they tell an interesting story. The first one came up as “On This Day” five years ago– back before I knew about my keratoconus and was still using glasses. So grabbed another shot of me today. You can see the aging, and, I hope, the weight loss.

A selfie where I am not smiling. I’m wearing large, thick rimmed dark colored glasses and a white v-neck tshirt. Behind me is a bookshelf and curtains. Another selfie of me from five years later. My beard has much more gray. I am wearing a black patterned shirt. I no longer wear glasses. Behind me is a Star Wars poster and a bookshelf with books and Lego.
