picture, in an 11x14 inch frame.  I think she honestly expects me to
hang it in my apartment. I've come around to Gene's opinion on family

-- our parents got an 8x10, and though my parents do have our high
school senior pictures in small frames on top of the piano, our family
is not the kind who has entire walls dedicated to portraits, so my
poor mother is stuck having to hang this monstrosity somewhere.
