Those who read this column in the print version will notice a change in today's paper. After much friendly prodding, I have replaced my photo – "mug shot" in journalese – with an updated version.
I haven't updated the photo because it seemed to me to be a rather vain thing to do, and many journalists, myself included, have a tendency to shy away from photo opportunities that place us on the other side of the camera.
