Dad, Gwinny & Uncle Jim, c. 1936
My Dad sent me this pic a couple of days ago, he got it from his brother Jim last week. He asked if I could clean it up a little bit. Here’s the original for comparison — I think it came out okay. That’s my Dad in the blanket. I can see his grownup face in that little, bitty one. I’ve always been told I have my Gwinny’s hair & hands.

My mom & I have the exact same shaped legs.

At our house in Sugarland, Texas on the occasion of her 60th birthday — about two months before the family packed up & moved to Singapore for half a year. Sexy beast, my grandma.

Knife in hand, mutilated fish corpse lying aside my knee — it was me, I did it.
bonno & dave, c. late 80s
Speaking of comedy groups of yore — here’s a comedy team from the 80s — Bonno & Dave — relaxing after a show. I was Dave. Bonno & Davis just didn’t have the right ring to it.

(my first camera, p. 2)
It’s still my birthday — see the wrapping paper & camera box in the foreground? Dad took this shot. I remember those pajamas; they were pale yellow & soft as silk — more than likely a light polyester blend.
my first camera, my first photo, 1970
I got a camera for my 10th birthday, a Kodak Instamatic. I had just unwrapped my present — you can see the package of flash bulbs on the bed. I think it’s rather good, actually. ;)

Dear Brother Who Doesn’t Speak To Anyone In His Family Any More:
We missed you this weekend.
Velveeta Room, c. 1990
My favorite picture of me & Russ, at least of us as “grown-ups.” I never thought we looked paricularly young here until I put it next to a photograph of us from earlier today:
Time, it do pass, don’t it?
