12 y.o. (monkey suit)

Dearest All,

I was going through some old photos, and I found this photo of me on my twelfth birthday. I thought I might share it with you. I can remember being upset that I had to wear a suit, but there were some out-of-towners attending the celebration. Unwilling though I was, I found some relief in calling the jacket my monkey suit. It was hot, though, and I can remember my feet feeling sweaty. (Maybe not my favorite birthday, but at least we weren't in Nelsonville.)

I haven't changed much in the last dozen or so years. 

I still get overheated when I wear monkey suits. 

As is birthday tradition, today we'll ride our bikes.

With Warmest Regards,

Eric
