The Tattoo

Detroit is the city in which I spent my most formative years. It's the city my grandfather, escaping Nazi persecution and imprisonment during World War II, fled to with his young widowed wife in 1948. It's the city that's host to my beloved Detroit Tigers. It's a part of me, and always will be.

Thus, on February 22 of this year, I got my first tattoo. Here it is:



Update: There's something wrong with my Flickr account, and none of my images are showing up. It was here, and perhaps you can still see it, but I'll have to figure out Flickr when I get home. (I have no idea what it could be; I uploaded about 12 photos today, and I'm nowhere near capacity - my premium membership is good through October - yet none of my images are showing up. Any ideas what it might be? I've been checking on their help page to no avail, and now I have to go to work...)

I'll take two tickets to that -- god, I'm so lame.

Uh ... did you mean to write "1948" or did your grandparents make a really long pit-stop along the way?

No, they immigrated in 1948.

Digging the tattoo, and that looks like a very buff bicep right there... And yes, I can see it on Firefox.

Yeah, I figured out my issue with Firefox. Was blocking images from the site somehow. It's fixed.

Yay! I was wondering how that turned out. Looks good!

Hey E, I thought of you today as I spent a wonderful afternoon at Comerica Park. They claim it was 75F at the first pitch, but it was probably in the high 60s (I did get a little sunburn). Either way, it was a great way to spend a beautiful spring afternoon even though the Tigers lost. I also have a couple pictures to send you from last summer that I was finally able to download from our camera, keep a look-out for them. Hope all is well with you.

Vlangos:

Great to hear from you. I'd love to see those pics, and I'll definitely be back in the area this summer to do it again. The Tigers played horribly today; I watched almost the whole game. But it would have been cool to be there. Hope you're well and keep in touch.

Take care
