I digress: 

1. Yes, I love my profile picture.  I rarely find a half-decent picture of myself, but in this one, I was genuinely happy and the occasion was memorable.  She's gorgeous, and she's a great mutual friend of mine; but we never spoke since we met in New York that day, and she was not my girlfriend, though I'd loved to be hers. 
2. I was reviewing my blog album, and was half amazed by the differences in colors in the processed version versus the original one.  I am dazzled by the creative freedom in modern photo processing.  I post a thumbnail below of the original output.
