Just like that, it’s gone again
As mysteriously as it returned, access to blogspot has vanished again, so I can no longer see the site. I was on the site yesterday morning and yesterday evening I couldn't get on. Once again, I realized this thanks to Russ Bengsten's hoops…
Speaking of hair…
Here is a shot of me on the Kennywood Merry Go Round, circa 1975. Take that, Jesse Paul. I need to look at this whenever Jacob's raggedy 'do is driving me nuts. Mad props to DK, who took this picture, saved it all these years, scanned it and…
Hair sagas continue
The email keeps pouring in and the hair keeps falling off. Delaware Dave was next to the barber’s chair. Photo included here. His 13-year-old son Jesse did his part by trimming his Jewfro from insane to extreme. I am subject to ridicule for…
Dixie takes it off

Thanksgiving Report
Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. We had 26 people here, 13 adults and 13 kids, mostly 5 and under. Several people were experiencing heir first Thanksgiving, and they all really enjoyed it. We had representation from China, Israel, Bolivia, Austria…
Scary stuff
Peas in a pod...My interview with Jim mcGregor which I posted here last week ended up getting yanked from TBJ because the C-E-Nsor said so. I think I'll just leave it at that at this point. Apparently, they just don't like the book, thinking…
The other other China
Pictured here are my favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant and my meal there, the kite market in two different shots and a pot I bought there. The market actually looks like kind of nice here, because the kites are so pretty. It is really grungy,…
