Thanks Sisg here is the photo I orignally submitted with the article. Hence the title; a Close Encounter with Mom

but DefendersOnline wanted me as a boy in photo with my mom. I actually had trouble finding a photo with just me an my mom in it.

I know or met most of the other authors, so it was interesting reading their pieces for me as well. You can tell Bernice and Jill write for a living, huh?

Yes, it was easy to recognize the talent and professionalism of those writers, especially Jill. But, as I always suspected, you also have a knack for the writing life, Troy. I agree with everything Sisgal said, especially about your good lookin mom.
