There’s a weird bug here in Japan that looks like a cross between a wasp and a moth. It’s huge – the size of a humming bird. That’s probably what tried nesting in Petey’s hair.

I just got a picture from an aunt of me in 1977. Hair was to my shoulders and beard like a pirate. Now I look like an Insurance Salesman. Oh, I am.

In 1977 I looked like an Insurance Salesman. Today my hair hangs past my shoulder blades.No beard, however, as it turned grey a few years ago.
