From the first uttrance of "Shirley!" in that unmistakeable accent, I'm transported.My skin feels dry and crusty from dried-on sea salt, the side effect of another Sunday spent surfing. It's late on a Sunday night in 1987, and I'm hastily finishing my homework half-heartedly while paying most of my attention to the living room television. 120 Minutes is on, but not so loud as to wake up Mom.

Track:Must I Paint You A Picture
So I logged on today and noticed my picture of myself was not showing up on my page. Not that this is a bad thing, but when I went to other MOG pages I noticed that their pictures seem to be hidden as well. If their picture did show up, and I clicked on more pictures they would soon disappear. Anyone else have this happen to them?
