You know, I realized I'm experiencing this from a completely opposite direction.

I don't wear makeup, but I do wear contact lenses, so I get a good close look at my face every morning. I'm used to it. I'm fine with it.

But my friend the race editor, often when he's sorting through old photos of an event, he'll find a snapshot of me that he took, and email it to me. It makes me wistful and a little sad to see how young and pretty I used to be.

But it only takes me about five minutes to get over it.
