Double Take

A few weeks ago as Blaine was having a lunch with a professor the professor casually asked Blaine if he was related to a Morgan Bassett. Blaine scoured his memory and came up dry, so responded that nope, there was no relation. The professor looked a little confused and said, "really? Because you remind me so much of him!". Apparently this professor had attended law school with said Morgan Bassett and they had been good friends.

Then a light clicked on for Blaine and he remembered a year or so ago that his uncle had told him that one of his cousins was an attorney in New York.
So it turns out there was a connection, though Blaine wasn't familiar with this particular relative. So of course he wanted to find out more about this like-minded second cousin. After a few minutes googling he came across this picture...


Which, I don't know if you have seen my husband lately but he looks like this...

*Eerie Twilight Zone Music Playing*. Even our kids, when shown the picture of Morgan Bassett claim it is Blaine. I wish I had a better picture of Blaine's head positioned the same way and with no smile, because it would be uncanny. He looks more like this second cousin than he looks like his brothers and sisters!

that is AWESOME! The more I look, the less resemblance I see, but on first glance? Could be Blaine!

I totally thought that was Blaine at first.

I saw only the top picture and thought that Blaine had changed a bit since I last saw him. . . I even thought I could see more of Wendy in him than I had ever noticed before. . .then I scrolled down and saw that he wasn't Blaine. . . You must get Blaine to make the same pose and post the pictures together!
