"When Landon School officials noticed that young alumni weren't visiting the school's Web site, they decided to go where the students were: Facebook. The Bethesda private school's page of news and notes now has nearly 500 followers. "We're slowly trying to incorporate these social networking platforms," school spokeswoman Jean Erstling said. "It's very important for us to be able to reach out to young alumni, and since they weren't coming to our site, we needed to go to them." In an age of instant information, many downcounty schools are turning to Twitter, Facebook and blogs to keep parents, community members and alumni in the loop. "Everybody's using all of these different mediums for communicating now," said JoAnne Scribner, a Westbrook Elementary School parent who helps coordinate the school's Twitter and blog pages. "And instead of one-way communication like it used to be, now it's two-way." Westbrook Elementary started using Twitter this year to inform parents about the school's... more... - Anne Bouey from Bookmarklet

First, FriendFeed is _not_ going away. (in fact, we're working on switching it to new servers) Second, I know everyone wants to know what the team is working on, but we don't pre-announce things, so for now all I can say is that there's good stuff on the way. Re: http://friendfeed.com/jworthi...

I like the first sentence. The rest is just gravy. - Derek Coward

I'm totally happy if we just reside on decent servers, and get occasional IT help... We'll keep the rest of the ship running :) - Christopher Galtenberg

Paul - is that why it's been slower lately vs.pre-fb ? - Allen Stern

Paul please repeat it in re-phrased form: Friendfeed is NOT going to repeat destiny of Jaiku? Y/N - A.T.

*processing statement...* - Micah Wittman

Can't wait... **Fingers tapping desk impatiently** - AJ Batac

But what does "going away" mean, Paul? And what does "team" mean? And when you say "pre-announce", are you talking about the Palm Pre? - Ken Sheppardson

Allen, the slowness is due to growth (more users and more data), but I put in a few fixes yesterday that should speed things up a bit. - Paul Buchheit

thanks paul - Allen Stern

Paul, sometimes when I open up threads I get the Opps... error. Is that related? It has been happening more and more these last few days. - Kol Tregaskes

Still better than twitter and facebook. Thanks for the update! - Mike Nencetti

Paul, thanks for the incredible work with FriendFeed. Please, keep it alive! and most importantly keep it FriendFeed! - Ciro

as long as FF doesn't go dark or fall to pieces due to lack of maintenance, i think most ppl would be appeased. - Joe Silence is not dead

Does this mean that the sky is not falling and we should stop running around screaming GODZILLA! and pointing in the direction of FB? - Moved to Facebook from fftogo

also, thank you for making such a great service in the first place! - Joe Silence is not dead

Paul: Did you see http://www.thetechnewsblog.com/2009... & can you understand why it got so many people talking / blogging? - Jim Connolly

I second that!! - Kol Tregaskes

Thanks Paul. - CW™

Always nice to hear Paul talking about Friendfeed. - ashish

Thanks Paul for the update. - Roberto Bonini

Thanks for the update! Would like to know if there will be actual development done on FriendFeed in the future (other than bug fixes/minor updates) but I understand if you can't really talk about that too much. - Brandon Titus

Paul: so still no answer from you as to if your 'good stuff' is being developed for FB or FF? The silence suggests it's FaceBook you're working on, or at least transferring FF into an 'add on' for Facebook? - Jim Connolly

Kol, fb platform and openness, primarily. - Paul Buchheit

David Recordon FTW - Jesse Stay

i made a post here - http://www.centernetworks.com/friendf... - one interesting note - maybe FB keeps FF running nice and smooth to keep the early adopters happy as it's a great way to get new features out to them via this channel... just a thought. - Allen Stern

Wow. I've had to eat my words before but these are the best-tasting ones yet! - Akiva Moskovitz from BuddyFeed

Akiva, just add salt. You know which kind :) - Micah Wittman

I'm anxiously waiting for FF->FB Platform integration (drools...) - Jesse Stay

These are the best words I could have expected by Paul. There is obviously a cultural difference between the two platforms and audience and I'm assuming both the former FF team and the FB team recognize that and are sensitive to the community. Thank you Paul and I hope you are feeling better.... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Allen, you're in good company on that thought - there were musings on that concept right after the buyout. - Micah Wittman

Damn, 20+ likes within a matter of 2 minutes. - Maxamad

When the leader speaks, everyone listens.... :-) - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

I feel a few "I told you so's" coming though... :-) - Jesse Stay

Thanks Paul. Glad you're working on maintaining/improving performance. I've definitely seen issues here. Looking forward towards your influence and changes over at the blue giant. - Mark Krynsky

Paul - thank you for letting us know, and I do hope you feel better! - Jennifer Dittrich

The big question though is will FriendFeed continue to add new features? There's a difference between that and it going away. (and hence my argument w/ Scoble the other day) - Jesse Stay

Paul: Seriously weird that you're there reading this, and totally ignoring each relevant, yes no question. No one's asking you to pre announce anything - just genuinely concerned (and increasingly so) that they do NOT include developing for FF. - Jim Connolly

Jesse +1 - Jim Connolly

I for one want to say: I'm excited! - Jorge Escobar

Jesse: Paul answers that question - BOOM - rumour mill dies and we finally get something positive to say. Ya know what - we won;t get an answer though. He's reading this, he knows the answer, but he won't. - Jim Connolly

Jesse: For now, FF has more features than any other platform for this type of niche. There's some catching up to do before I'm worried about new features. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

AWESOME!! Thanks for helping to quell some concerns Paul. Looking forward to what comes next, but hope that FF never dissappears also. - Travis Koger from iPhone

Shouldn't we be asking the facebook guys, and let Paul keep working? Or is he wearing many hats (friendfeed head honcho and facebook openess builder)? - Mark Essel from iPhone

Paul: I'm right, right? There's something stopping you from saying that you are no longer adding new features to what 'we' know as Friendfeed? - Jim Connolly

Not for nothing, but I took my friendfeed embed off my tiny blog for a few weeks after the facebook buy out. There was just this empty spot on my eyesore of a website, so I put the embed back. We care because we like the connections we've made here and don't want to lose them. It's personal for us to. - Mark Essel from iPhone

Paul: Amazing how quickly you guys have adopted the Facebook attitude to silence. Pity. - Jim Connolly

Paul: blink twice if you will add new features to FF. I won't tell anyone, honest. - Edward Zwart

FWIW he did just upgrade servers. My e-mail notifications are almost real-time. Sounds to me like they're still improving the service. - Jesse Stay

Jim: Don't blame Paul on that, it's not fair. He's only allowed to say so much at this point but I'm very satisfied on what he said. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Jesse: The questions not if they keep the servers running - we want to know if this is a dead platform. - Jim Connolly

Jim: in Paul's defense Facebook's PR is more controlling than FriendFeed's was. I'm sure he's having to consider the effects his words will have on other people inside Facebook. But, I'm VERY HAPPY that Paul is here giving us hints as to what's coming. I wish it had happened six weeks ago so we wouldn't have lost so many people, but maybe that would happen anyway. - Robert Scoble

Jim, there may be a few new things, but as I said, the team is mainly working on fb platform and openness, so it's unlikely that there will be any big new features of ff (except maybe one that I've been thinking about for a while...). - Paul Buchheit

Did the Walrus think about Feed Splicing? :-) - Robert Scoble

Paul: Finally - THAT'S what we were wondering. - Jim Connolly

Cool Dude: Need it to have a classier forum than the parent; Parent is still good but the options here make it just a bit nicer. - ThatDBD

Paul: Pity. At least we now know not to expect any developments or improvements. Thanks for answering the question. Whilst it confirmed my fears, it's good to know what's happening. - Jim Connolly

Johnny said it nicely here: http://www.johnnyworthington.com/... - Mark Essel

I have no problem with FB integration (notice my drool above). Hoping for good friend conversion tools to bring subscribers over as friends or fans on Facebook from FriendFeed. (Connect.registerUsers FTW!) - Jesse Stay

Jim: I'd modify "any" to "many." - Robert Scoble

As a result - Jim has left the platform. - Jim Connolly

Jim: this is a change from last week, by the way. My sources were telling me that we weren't going to get any new features and now Paul is refuting that and saying we might get one new feature here. - Robert Scoble

I'm still drooling - anyone have a towel? - Jesse Stay

Jesse: I'll buy you a virtual one over on Ning. - Robert Scoble

personally, i would be happy just to have FF not fall apart and die. given the post-acquisition situation, anything beyond that is gravy! - Joe Silence is not dead

Robert, I heard Ning is dead - care to send me one on Facebook? ;-) - Jesse Stay

Robert, think of it as 20% time. If there's a feature I want, I'll just add it :) - Paul Buchheit

Thank you for the clarification, Paul, and hope you are feeling better. - WorldofHiglet

a communication channel that will be around and getting improved no matter what happens, our blogs :D I'll be commenting on yours Jim. 20%, that's a helluva light better than 0%, that's actually much more than I expected. Could we crowd source funding to buy you more %? - Mark Essel

Even if there no new features in Friendfeed, I am happy with Friendfeed just staying on. - ashish

how many users are there on friendfeed is there any chance we could buy it out (and get a full time dev staff back)? This platform rules, the dev team is incredible (albeit on facebook stuff now). - Mark Essel

Paul, if you wanted me to bake you some cookies, all you had to do was ask, GEEZ. - Derrick

Question: how many facebook bucks do we have to buy in total to get Paul and team working on friendfeed more of the time (100% ;) - Mark Essel

Twitter doesn't accept cupcakes any more (just check Foursquare when at their offices). How about FriendFeed? :-) - Jesse Stay

Mark, I'm okay with better Facebook integration. There's a lot of power in that (hence my drooling). - Jesse Stay

I've got mixed feelings Jesse. I have friends on facebook. Then I have people that get excited by the same stuff that I do on friendfeed - Mark Essel

Mark, I'm really hoping it ends up the best of both worlds - that would be really cool - Jesse Stay

im going back to efnet - i got a bus for 7pm - anyone want on? :-P - Allen Stern

I don't think you can mix the two sites at all. This has been repeated over and over. FriendFeed's technology might be portable, the concept, no. - Jorge Escobar

Is it too late to do something about it. If it's a question of funds, can't we raise some? I mean this is the best communication platform I've come across yet. Facebook could be, if they just handed over the reigns to Paul, but its unlikely that sort of shift could happen. - Mark Essel

Is the user perceived need of a full time devoted dev staff a fallacy? - Mark Essel

I think you could make the case that some sites and services can in fact be "done" at some point, and simply require resources to keep them up and running. - Ken Sheppardson

Thanks, Paul. - Josh Haley

Ken: That's a potential advantage of turnkey application-level hosting such as App Engine: the resources to keep them up and running are almost entirely outsourced. ~All costs are variable costs, monetization improves over time, variable costs decline over time, so services that are "done" can literally just coast. - Daniel Dulitz

They could open up something like friendfeed. Distributed social networks, with many servers would make search more challenging (search like status could help). The Internet keeps on chugging, it's a distributed information network that's been alive for many years. Our social networks should live, as does the underlying Internet. - Mark Essel

Nice Daniel, I've been having fun playing around there (frankensearch.appspot.com). I'm using it to get to learn a little more about scala and lift now. - Mark Essel

might be a full-time job times 2 or 3 for any fresh devs - safe to say Paul's got a bit of a head-start which changes that equation significantly! .... Also maybe almost as important is simply keeping spammers in check - that makes the difference between a ghost town vs the happy place here we want to keep coming back to enjoy ... - Dan Freeman

Istanbuldan buyuk bir eferimi hakketti bu cocuklar, bizim icin calisiyorlar - MobilAdam from fftogo

Yes, this helps a lot. Thank you, Paul. We were beginning to fight amongst ourselves over these things. - Kamilah Gill

I bet a good contextual advertising box off to the side could generate 35-50million dollars in 6 months with a user base of 1 million people. The assumption is that the average user spends 100-200 bucks on the site making purchases they'd normally make anyway and the affiliate percentage goes to the social host. - Mark Essel

Friendfeed's health needn't be measured by the team's willingness to add new features. Shovels haven't changed in hundreds of years, but nobody is running around saying shovels are dying. A shovel is a great tool --a simple one, at that. If anything, I'd take away features on FF, but that's just me. Thanks for jumping in, Paul. - Chris Baskind

Chris: the problem is that a shovel doesn't get more utility the more people that use it. FriendFeed does. - Robert Scoble

I think the problem is that some people feel extra messianic some days (which is perfectly okay), and then refuse to see/believe/accept when others don't feel the same way AND point it out. The refusing part is not really okay, I guess. - Michael Bravo

Thanks for these reassuring words Paul. Have been working hard to get more Flickr users over here after the recent rash of censorship there. Friendfeed's TOS and lack of censorship is a breath of fresh air compared to Flickr. - Thomas Hawk

I wouldn't say lack of censorship, but community moderated filters. ;) - CW™

I think you're unnecessarily complicating the discussion by adding new vocabulary, Robert. Now you're talking scale, not features. A product needn't expand its feature set to remain useful. Feature creep is the devil, anyway. ;-) - Chris Baskind

You can’t predict what the future of technology will bring; so trying is a fool’s game. You can only adapt to the new realities as best you can. Paul's word is that it is still worth the time to invest in FF the tool. The tool may stay in this form but that's still a better design for me than Twitter. If FF is a shovel, Twitter is a spoon feature-wise. Audience volume-wise, it is the reverse. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

"Feature creep is the devil." truer words! - Joe Silence is not dead

Now this makes me feel hopeful!:) - Patrik Johansson

Ok here's an example of what the social media + contextual ads could like like (sorry can't embed iframe twitter they go full screen so I showed it with friendfeed). But the idea is clear: http://victusmedia.com/social-... This works by sending your tweet stream to zemanta, and then does some backend stuff (which we're working on improving) to get relevant ads from amazon - Mark Essel

I've been rough on you guys in some comments around, but I'm VERY encouraged to see that you guys see a future for FF. Thanks for shining some light, Paul. - Scott of Two Countries

Clarification is appreciated. - DGentry

A respectable amount of information. Thank you. - Matthew DeVries

Chris: Pownce had more "features" than Twitter did, yet it died. So did other aggregators like Jaiku. It's not "features" that matter in social software. Well, at least not completely. It's a combination of features with crowds that matter. If the crowds leave FriendFeed has a lot less utility to everyone than if they flow in. Look at this item here. Why is it interesting? Because there's people here talking about it. - Robert Scoble

take your time PB Bear take your time - Thomas Power

This is definitely more of the answer we were looking for. Thanks, Paul. - Alex Scoble

Thank you - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

All I can say is "thank you" for letting us know what's going on. I'm glad to hear FF will be around for the foreseeable future. :-) LONG LIVE FRIENDFEED! - Jason Huebel

yea - happy happy.... - Chris Jackson

I can't find any wave that is even remotely comparable with friendfeed's conversation, if you found one will you invite me? (muzzle at googlewave) - Emme Ci

Great news, I await the new functions eagerly - Mo Kargas

looks like good news ... - johnpiercy

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the best thing I've seen ALL day!! woo hoo!! Thanks Paul :) {{{ HUG }}} - Susan Beebe

Just a few words of assurance go a long way, Paul. Thank you for finally giving us something more solid to stand on. It's been frustrating for a lot of us waiting for the other shoe to drop and this news makes it much easier to keep investing time in FriendFeed. Please don't be shy about reaffirming that it's not going away on a regular basis because it's always good to hear. - Her Lindsay-ness

I will say it for the least time! Friendfeed kicks ass :). The rest who is saying friendfeed is dying. please SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! - alfred westerveld

Good to read. - Grant Bierman

Tnx Paul, people just want to see that are not "alone" - Lucio Riccardi - CantorJF from FreshFeed

"As a result - Jim has left the platform. - Jim Connolly" - Was this guy ever on the platform?! A quick glance at his most recent posts [first page] show pretty much 100% of posts made from other platforms. Cut him and his blood runs blue. Twitter blue :) - 1x29

IF you glance over the Right Wing guys publications-there is some serious Terrorism encouragement from those sociopaths. This looked like a real strong example of what they are encouraging their followers to do??? Been saying we need to pay attention they are respectable foes to intelligence and their agenda is to win at all costs. Dudes they are great foes, need to,got to, have to pay attention to what they are doing. Peace love your neighbors dudes. - ThatDBD

@ThatDBD I think you're responding to the wrong thread... - Her Lindsay-ness

still curious, but understand - Kim Landwehr

It's fascinating that so many people seem worried about new features. Until recently Twitter added almost no features at all and yet it continued to grow in popularity. FriendFeed's recent slump is all about perception, not tech. - Eoghann Irving

Exactly Eoghann. - Maxamad

these conversations take too much time for narcisists with tight schedules (stars). Publicity skyrocketed Twitter to the limelight. Friendfeeds champions are tech geeks, and folks that love chatting and sharing. There aren't many of us though. Give us time, or let us own the platform with a public ipo /buyin from facebook. Free friendfeed! - Mark Essel from iPhone

Looks like it's official then: FriendFeed lives! On new servers, even! (At least for now...) - Dennis Jernberg

Hoorah! - Ron Bailey

Very glad to hear it!! - Rosalinda Mojarro

word! - Dylan Casey

This is great news! Thanks, Paul, for the update, and if you get a hankering for a feature, great! I'm fine with the tech being your personal sandbox in exchange for keeping the service alive. Robert, I hope this means we'll see more of you and your family - and hear from the ones who have mastered the art of rolling over. Johnny, thanks for having the courage to ask the hard questions (and Louis for helping you frame the issues.) wow - life feels good again! - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF from iPhone

This is brilliant news from Paul! Now can we put this FriendFeed is dying business to rest please? It's a self fullfilling prophecy because by saying FF is dying, folks begin leaving, causing a downward spiral which would then cause it to come true! - technogran

Wan't it to stay? Then begin spreading the word! Get others to use it! At the moment its not mainstream so encourage ordinary users to use FF! The more popular it becomes the less likely it is to fold. - technogran

Yes :) Paul . Thanks. we love ff :) - sunipeyk

Questions? No just enjoy it. - ★ Soner Gönül

technogran: sorry, today you see what's going on. Bing? Displays your Facebook and Twitter tweets. Google? Twitter. Where's FriendFeed in this equation? Now do you get why FriendFeed is destined to be a tiny niche player and why the real action is on Facebook? - Robert Scoble

Good news :) - Maryam Ardakani from FreshFeed

Is not FF that is going somewhere else (?). Is its user base. - Claudio Cicali ♋

Good to know. - orionstarr from iPhone

Robert, if FF gives me what I'm looking for, why do I care where "the real action" is? If FF serves its niche well, what's the downside? - Scott of Two Countries

Robert, do you mean that Google doesn't index Friendfeed posts? Friendfeed is the first site that comes up if you search for my name. - Victor Ganata

Excellent point Victor - but FF only imports a small % of twitter's posts. Ergo Google is still not getting Twitter. - Roberto Bonini

@Scobleizer - this item is not interesting because of the conversation. it's interesting because of who it's from, and what he said. The fact that there's a conversation around it and that conversation is easy to find and read is a bonus (a feature) that sets this service head and shoulders above others (IMHO). There's really not much interesting in the comments here, if you ask me. You could get rid of all the comments that aren't Paul's and the value of the entry doesn't diminish that much. - Chris Heath

That isn't to say that conversations around items aren't ever useful or valuable (or interesting as robert says)... but in this case i would say it's who it's from and what he said. - Chris Heath

Chris: you nailed, in a single paragraph, why Twitter is winning. You now can choose who shows up on your screen and under what context. Well, I can because I have list support. Everyone else will get that next month. Victor: Roberto is right. I barely see ANY of the good stuff I see on Twitter come over here. Well, it comes here because of my favorites feed, but that isn't in nearly as useful a form as it is over at http://www.twitter.com/scoblei... - Robert Scoble

Robert, you keep saying that's the reason Twitter's winning - I can do that in Facebook and FriendFeed as well. - Jesse Stay

Well, the problem is that Google doesn't seem to index tweets as well as it indexes Friendfeed posts. And Google has never been able go inside Facebook's walled garden. Hopefully that will change. - Victor Ganata

(and I have been able to for the last year or so) - Jesse Stay

Victor, that changed today - see ReadWriteWeb's post. Facebook is opening up public status messages to search engines now. - Jesse Stay

Why is Twitter/Facebook/FriendFeed a zero sum game? I use both Twitter and FriendFeed a lot - they have different strengths - and they feed into each other. Facebook I use less, but that's a personal issue because I simply like it less. Why does there have to be a winner? And +1 Scott, if I'm in the niche market that FF is serving and I'm happy with it, why should I care if "the real action" is on Facebook? If that's the case, I'll take FF's "fake action," thank you very much. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

Good point Jandy - sunipeyk

Paul: Thank you for letting us know status as much as you are able. The fact that you took time to write anything says a lot. So thank you for that. And thank you for FriendFeed in general. It truly does rock. Have a great day. - Morgan Haley

Thank you. - amygeek

Why don't you just give us all Facebook accounts for the one's that don't have them and be done with it. But the Turbocharged FF/FB accounts!! - Gene Williams

@Gene, sorry, you'll have to wait for a FB invite like everyone else! - Andrew C

@Andrew Oh that sucks, I'm still waiting for my Facebook invite. Do you have one to spare? - Patrik Johansson

FF team needs 20% time at FB to keep inventing the next. - Christopher Galtenberg

This is great to hear, it would be bad that a major peice of my microblogging arogration just died off. - denzuko

When is that Leo? I'm guessing 1978 or so? - Michael R. Bernstein

Slow and clear.. and with a blue vest - Rhys Amos

Woah...he MEMED! respect - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Dear Leo, I love you to death, however, please let your darling daughter know Monaco is not an island off the coast of France and yes, Monte Carlo is the capitol. My daughter is the same age and we are starting to shop college's as well. I wish you the best of luck finding a school that suits her well. I was an exchange student as well and found it the best experience ever! - Jennifer Ragde

Okay, now my computer politically correct daughter is telling me this was not the correct way to state my opinion as I should have commented on the photograph. I'm really sorry, I love to listen to your broadcasts, but I really am computer retarded so please forgive me if I have transgressed in any manner. I can't even upload photographs without her help! Really, you don't look dapper,... more... - Jennifer Ragde

I do believe Steve Jobs was in the process of creating the Macintosh then? This is '70s right? - Danny Minick

LOL Jennifer and +1 for your daughter. :) - Josh Haley

You look so dapper, Leo!! - Mona Nomura

go leo! - sean percival

That's awesome - Jesse Stay

lookin good .. - Saad Kamal

Outstanding, Mr Laporte. You can see the in dream there. Potential and promise sporting a tank-top. - Dan Biddle

Those pants look like they may be restricting blood flow a little bit... Also, sweet chalk board! Haven't seen one of those in years! - Mark

I hardly recognised you. It maybe your outfit but you look older in this photo - Kevin J Hatton

Taken at a radio station? (based on blackboard notes) Wait. BLACKBOARD??? Wow. :) - CAJ, somewhere else

Jack looks like wolverine. - Harold Benfield

Excellent sweater vest there, Leo! - John Lutz

That's on handsome man! lol - Melissa Goetsch

Leo, you were one hot stack if pancakes back in the day!! - Erik Boles

Not to nitpick or anything, but Monaco is the name of the state and the capital city. Monte Carlo is just one of city's administrative areas :) - Dorian

It's 1985 or 1986. I was 28 or 29. And an utter dork. - Leo Laporte

This vintage is good stuff! - Jackie

not vintage but funny - http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Mike Bracco

Okay. Leo you rock! Let me get that out of the way. But you look like Susan Boyle in this photo. Sorry, someone had to throw it out there. ;-) - Oracio

LEO: if this was a family photo I think it might make it on to the hilarious site that aggregates awkward family photos: http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/ must check this out! :) - Mike Bracco

Not a family photo - it's a work photo. That's from KLOK-FM San Francisco. - Leo Laporte

Leo: I know, I was just saying if it was :) - Mike Bracco

What's that funny lookin thing in the background? - Daniel James

Daniel.. I think that is what was known as a monochrome display. They were all the rage back then apparently. - Rhys Amos

Your hair wasn't even real back then! :P - Kreg Steppe

I think his hair looks better now - Jim Hague

Dear Dorian, I stand corrected. I was just stunned that someone thought Monaco was an island. When I was in high school (when Dinosaurs roamed the earth, ha ha!), we had to memorize the world in geography. I guess times have changed. - Jennifer Ragde

LOL, I took all those old photos of me and hid them deep! - Lillian Banchik

OMG I just found this... *DEAD* - Johnny Worthington

Oh wow, totally 80s, fer shure. :P - Mol, Time Warping

You must have respect for wives. That they could see anything other than the geeks we looked like in those days makes you believe in clairvoyance. Of course now you would qualify as a silver fox. - JR Holmes from Nambu

You looked smart and confident :) Great photo! Thanks for sharing! - mahjongmi
