if I updated my profile right, that was a picture taken while my illustrator and I were at an air museum doing research for The Real Women of the US Military: The WASP, where I was allowed the privilege of sitting in the cockpit of one of their P-51 Mustangs to get a good look at its instrument panel. Suddenly I heard Monami say, "Look up," I did, and had only a moment to give a hasty thumbs up before she took my picture.
On the other hand, if I didn't do the update right, it's just the default, a goofy looking letter "V." Which isn't too bad, given that it's my first initial.
