Several have inquired about the painting off to the right hand side -->
No, it's not a likeness of me and no, that is not a LIGER. The painting is by the French/Japanese artist Tsugouharu Foujita and is called "La Dompteuse et le Lion." Note how the lion looks like he's trying to remember if he left the water running.
