Getting Older

The topic has come up twice in the past week or so, about how much older presidents look at the end of their term(s) than they did at the beginning.  CNN just did a piece on this very subject.  So, this got me to thinking, is it the stress of the job or just the passing of time that makes these men look so much older after their stint as president?

Then I got to thinking, how much older do I look than I did four or eight years ago?  Let's take a look...

Here I am about eight years ago...

Four years ago...

 And this year...

What do you think?  Is it the stress of my job or just the passing of time?

Okay, maybe it's the change of hair cuts...hair color...more piercings...

Truthfully, I like the way I look now better than either of these other times!  Yeah, I look older, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing :-)

But, boy, I miss those kitchen cabinets in the first picture!
