old pics of me

, , , ...

I think these were from about 1970. They're not horrible, I guess. It was Christmas. They were taken with my little Kodak Instamatic camera.

The third pic on down is of our aluminum Christmas tree. They were the rage during the late 60's and early 70's. I loved that tree as much as a natural one. It had a lighted color wheel to make it extra pretty at night.

Confidentiality must be maintained. Shhhhh!, it's a secret who it was from.

It was so nice to wake up this morning and see this sweet message from so far away. I love you, too! love

Pretty soon we'll have to get a little place together. lol

i have a week off. what should i do?

, , , ...

I can't get a coherent plan together at all.

Maybe some of these will happen:

  • mow the yard.
  • cook on the grill.
  • watch an Ava Gardner movie.
  • drink some beer.
  • download!
  • chat with some good friends from my opera.

Any suggestions? wink

I try not to be a grammar nazi, nor am I even an expert in my native language, but this sign has been like this for over a year.

why do we hurt the ones we love?

One of the most perplexing and eternal questions of life.

working in atlanta all this week

The traffic and giant freeways ringing Atlanta still amaze me. It used to be a very special party town for me years ago, but a lot of the good old clubs have closed. I go back home late tomorrow. I hope to get back before the hurricane makes the driving difficult.

This image is from the intersection of I-75 and I-285 north of Atlanta near Marietta.
