Call it summer laziness, but I'm going to follow up my Throwback Thursday feature with a what I'll call a “Flashback Friday” along with what's a more embarrassing picture of myself from my awkward early years (I'm now in awkward middle age). The picture below… I call this my “Ron Burgundy phase.” Thank you, braces.
Anyway, I think this post from 2009 is still relevant:
