I've driven a delivery truck carrying everything from veggies to beer, and before that I worked in restaurants where I once had to dress up as a lobster! As for hats, I work outside so I wear the kind that Henry Blake wore (on MASH)or that Gilligan wore (on the island!) I tip my hat to you folks!Jeff Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00316081079528920123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-30400627963199513382014-02-03T16:25:03.689-05:002014-02-03T16:25:03.689-05:00Thanks to each of you.

For me personally, I'll have to borrow a hat to have a picture made or use one with a wedding veil. (It's an old picture.)<br />We are certainly a varied group, and I think that's part of what makes SS work although most (or all)have published mystery. Keep the hat pix coming. I've got a different hat post for next month.Fran Rizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655783035179620991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-25502258605094708482014-02-03T14:50:07.225-05:002014-02-03T14:50:07.225-05:00Girl Scout camp counselor, Peace Corps Volunteer t...Girl Scout camp counselor, Peace Corps Volunteer teaching English to French-speaking West Africans, life insurance agent (what a nightmare!), editor (no glamor involved--my biggest project was an accounting textbook). Shrink--social worker, psychotherapist, director of alcohol treatment programs, online therapist wearing a virtual hat as LZcybershrink.com. Mother, besotted grandma. Singer-songwriter, outrageous older woman. And speaking of insurance, you missed poet Wallace Stevens, who was a lot more successful at it than I was.Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-4233174837059457452014-02-03T11:34:10.007-05:002014-02-03T11:34:10.007-05:00Hats?

Let's see: newspaper boy, grocery sacker, Y camp counselor, pizza maker, gas station attendant, maintenance painter, assembly line worker, steam mold machine operator, aircraft modification draftsman, soldier, computer repairman, special agent, federal security and hey, author through most of it.<br />The photo you posted was taken but never used for my written-for-hire, non-fiction book published under an alias. Shoe polish was used to darken any visible hair. Photo not used because the contract stated they could run anyone in for a book signing. Thus book signings could simultaneously be conducted on opposite coasts with two different people, none of which could be me.<br />It's a fun world if you do it right.R.T.
