Like this, yes. It runs in the family....
On to my cousin, Kevin....his family branch was on the east coast. He and I were in Oregon in undergrad at the same time....he was a good deal more politically active than I. But, he had the same hairline....the guy on the left, below.
Kevin died rather early, almost 15 years ago.
There has been several minutes where the author above has not touched the keyboard....we find the neighbor across the street, Ann, has come with a Bavarian Creme, from Wheat Montana over towards Bozeman. The author is now reduced to guttural sounds, so we'll leave it at this.
Guttural sounds when Ann shows up and he leaves it at this?
ReplyDeleteHey though, your dad was a handsome man. I loved him in "Scream and Scream Again." Not that I saw it, but it has a very catchy title.
Seriously, the nice thing about a hairline like that is its aerodynamics. One can lean over the side of a speeding watercraft, or skim down a ski slope at a high velocity and always maintain a straight line. Now I know the secret to Evel Knievel's success.

It's one of the things that make me shake my head about this place....the celebration of one of the most public jerks we've known....and he's the icon.
DeleteThe guy on the right a cousin, too? That was my dad's hairline, and my brothers, so it's the standard for me. None of this fringe business.
ReplyDeleteI wondered that too, no idea. Kevin and I were not that close...
DeleteThat thirpd photo looks like a group of cuban guerrillas
ReplyDeleteYeah, and? Your point? Ok, so Kev was in Nicaragua for a bit there, and yeah, my stint in Doctors Without Borders, but there is no evidence we were in Cuba. None. Zip. Nada.
DeleteMy hair is only recently relaxing to where I have a hairline. Curly people have to wait for gray to take over.
ReplyDeleteY'know, bragging of this sorts, from a person of your (ahem) age, is not something to be emulated.
DeleteI used to have hair. I still do, but it only grows from my ears down. So, was Vincent Price a relative of yours? The middle pic looks a bit like Clint Eastwood. Same squint and everything. You obviously have many connections.
ReplyDeleteNah, the horror meister just had the same hairline. The second pic is taken on SF Bay, so it could be Dirty Harry.....first time I've been told I resemble Clint.....
DeleteI don't have much of a hairline left so the point is moot for me. On the other hand guttural works for me with anything resembling a Bismarck including Bavarian Crème...:)
ReplyDeleteThose Germans have the best bakeries in the world in my opinion.
DeleteMmmmmm. Send Ann down Arizona way with her confections.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, she's down there frequently....she's from Tucson.
DeleteThat style of hairline was called a 'widow's peak' in my youth. I don't know why.
ReplyDeleteThe hairline is a common one among men - my Dad and brothers all have it, too.
ReplyDeleteYes, but in OUR family, he's passed the hairline AND the double chin to his daughters, too! Thanks, Dad.
