It'll be in print tomorrow...and hopefully they can fix the misspelling of my name in the photo caption before then. :rolleyes: (I emailed back right away, but who knows...)

Said photo is not too bad at all (we should hope, after ~200 shots!) though it's definitely another kick in the pants that I need to lose quite a few pounds before my NEXT national media appearance!

And can y'all see what's on my laptop screen?? :D

^ Great photo! Love seeing the box (I'll assume)/FT on your screen! Very nice and hope they fix the spelling error :)

All of us were new to The Box at one point, and we turned it into a thriving community by dealing with each other civilly and by being a welcoming bunch.

Screw self-discipline. :-:

Congrats! Another Boxer garnering national media attention (in a good way, thank God). ^

2) Yes, but I don't think that the website is overly recognizable.

Oh sure...unless you're in the know and are specifically looking, as rolov et al. apparently were ;)

You betcha!

Thank you. The photographer took about 200 shots, so I'm glad at least one was usable! (nice guy - PHL based - www.ryancollerd.com)

You think so, don't you. ;) I definitely said to him: "The red couch is the nicest thing I have. PLEASE use it." ...and he agreed. Basically, my apartment is too big for the amount of stuff I have, and it's all white and beige at the moment. I should organize a Painting DO. :-p

I looked very closely. It looks like you were on this thread when the photo was taken. :p

Hmmmmm. I don't think I've looked at that thread - pretty sure it was the Box - but I may be mistaken!
