[kj] loose cannon

[Alexander Smith]

Well, Raven still looks reasonably spry. Geordie looks like he's aged 
(beyond the hair), but basically pretty good. I think Jaz is in serious 
need of a haircut and maybe a light diet, but he's alright otherwise.

Alex in NYC.....who himself has aged in a manner suggesting a life 
ill-spent.
