So there’s this wonderful family photo of me at around two years old playing in Hyde Park. My mother made a copy for me, which I have somewhere very safe, I’m sure. But my sister also has a copy, and while we were down there last weekend I scanned it in. So here I am:

Me as a toddler 'dowsing' in Hyde Park, London, summer 1968.

My parents spent three years in England for my father’s graduate work. This picture of me was taken by a family friend while we were in Hyde Park in London sometime in summer of 1968. My parents always called this my dowsing picture, although I sort of think it looks more like I’m ploughing. I was a cutie, wasn’t I?

I think it looks like you're jet-skiing without a jet ski!

Until you said "dowsing," I thought you were mowing the lawn.

I was a cutie, wasn’t I?

You still are!

I just want to scoop up Baby Jay and snuggle him! You still get that same expression on your face when something intrigues you. :-)
