How do you tell these Europeans apart? 

To start with: by not mistaking them for a Bhutanese or Nigerian guest (both also in the picture).
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

Greg, I should never have thought that's what you look like!
Yeah, I know. I'm used to the surprise. It's kind of awkward to go out in public and such...

Great family photo, Bill! While I only recognize you in the picture, the other family members are just like I'd have imagined!

We got to get Kimi into that photo one day...

She is always welcome to our home, as are you and your wife.

Hey Bill - great pic of the DL visit - reminds me of the times we took our son to Disney World - he use to love seeing those characters and I feel believed that they were real - a once in a lifetime experience w/ a kid(s) - Dave  :D

he was as f*cked-up as you are."
