Check out this âselfieâ I took yesterday afternoon. Itâs my official entrance into the âlook at meâ trend/obsession/mental illness currently gripping the world. This picture best reflects the real me. I took it in the middle of writing this column, half an hour into a lecture from my wife about safety, and a day after something very loud and ill-planned happened in the backyard. What youâre seeing is me in my natural working state.
