Take a gander and you'll see what I mean.

I think I came across rather pretentious with that pained half smile, and Bill just looks far too happy to be leaving. Truth is, they picked the shot where I was between smiles and/or about to sneeze, and Bill was in hysterics because he was so excited to be retiring.
Bill was, in fact, extremely happy to be leaving, so there might be a tad too much truth to this photo. I just hope I'm not actually a pretentious snob.
To give you a reference point on the scope and sophistication of the Press Enterprise, I've included a scan of the back of the above clipping... which appears to be a classifieds of a revealing sort. Note the first and second full items. I kid you not.

You'd think they'd have taken enough pictures to pick a better one than that.. oh well. It's your 15 minutes of fame.. enjoy! :)
