It has been pretty rough on me, moving from the 4th quadrant where I ruled as amongst the top bloggers (upper 25th percentile, to be precise)to the 5th quadrant where I am less than nothing (-25 percentile, to be precise).
That's why I need encouragement wherever I can get it.
I thought I was going to get in my inbox when my mom called and said she was going to email me a picture of her and her favorite comic genius.
Sounds good, I said. And I waited for one of the pictures from my parent's going away party. Of my Mom. And me. Obviously me.

What I got was this picture. As I immediately realized that neither of the people is me, I put the picture through Concept of Irony's Face Recognition Software.
Turns out the lady on the right is my mother.
The gentleman on the left is Colin Mochrie of Whose Line is It Anyways.
Well beloved readers, half of whom kick me while I'm single, I spent $45,000 on face recognition software to learn that I'm not my mom's favorite comedian.
And the other half would rather be reading Mr. Mochrie's blog.
