In all seriousness this colorized version of Teddy Roosevelt bears a remarkable resemblance to one of my therapists and I look forward to showing it to him.

(10,558 posts)Wow, Howdy Miss H! It has been a loooong while since we chatted,(too long imho), it is great to see you back in the DU. How are things in my favorite country? How have you been? Me, I was doing just fine until I saw your name here. So now I am all wistful and wishing I could somehow magically transport back to Germany. Are you still shooting photos?
