Age: 40
| Yes, 40. Forty! Four-Tee! Big Four Zero! Yup. Over the hill. Half-done. Pitiful. Entering Geezerhood. What more can we say?
Dan's had a relatively good year, writing a new book completely from scratch (Digital Scanning and Photography), as well as updating the usual hoard of other books. He's also taken time to study various obscure aspects of computers, programming and other things he'd love to rant about, but which would bore everyone else here. At the theater, Dan fulfilled one of his lifelong dreams and wore a dress on stage as the man-playing-a-woman role in Love, Sex and the IRS (March). Sandy directed, and even conducted the makeup experiments that made Dan look like a real, live woman. Well, more live than real. The play was a smashing success. Dan also directed Oliver! in June and Oklahoma! this December. "I'm trying to do all the single-word-with-exclamation-point musicals before I retire," he says. He still enjoys working in his woodshop, making sets and props for the theater, and generally goofing off. |

Daddy and Jeremiah share a moment.

Simon pretends to be eating one of the many "love bugs" that descended upon Disneyworld in Sept.
(The bugs are the black specs on the pillar; two bugs per spec. There were many more of them than
is evident in this photograph.)

Dan cowers in fear over a 40-candlepower cake.

Directing the mob in Oklahoma!. Probably the start of rehearsal since the cell phone is visible
and that means Folks Must Be Called.
