Not to disagree with the master, but I LIKED this picture! Joni looks like what she was: an attractive, 59-year-old woman having a good time in an unguarded moment. She was obviously not "mugging for the cameras," but simply enjoying herself, without regard to how she might look. Mary P., probably reacting to the fact that, in recent years, various, um, unflattering pictures of me, also involving my chin, have been cropping up and making the rounds: literally (thanks to this list) around the world. "Middle age: get used to it." ;-)
