Adam Kibbe Across the gap of adjoining parking spaces, and through the silencing barriers of two car windows, Dan was laughing in time with me. As we rolled down our windows to say Hi, we knew without saying we were both listening to NPRís “Wait, Wait, Donít Tell Me”. Heíd just pulled up beside me […]

Jeff helping Karen with her lei Peter brought from Hawaii. Yesterday we may have made serious progress in solving the BMW’s starting problem. I’m hopeful that Adam will fill in the details.

Peter and Helen. Brian brought a pocket sized movie camera and took three movies. I combined two, and lost some quality, but the file size is small enough for even the modem impaired. If you’re patient. Click here to watch Matthew crush his poor uncle. * Note : I was smart enough not to challenge […]

Neo and his dad. Patting the last hair into place. Brian’s photos taken in the Marriott in Evansville. I’m embarrassed to say it, but I couldn’t “do” Gauguin. I looked at his Tahitian women, those muted, not brilliant colors, his interpretation of the female form (what was he thinking?), assorted carvings thrown in for local […]

Dash Ruthenburg, unfairly passed over for the lead role in that new Mel Gibson movie. View larger image Father, and as Sidney Toler would say, Number One son. View larger image Matt is bringing Hillary and we’re all going to the MFA tonight to see the Gauguin exhibition. Afterwards, perhaps dinner at the flaming barbeque […]

Shinydome sent a 360 degree view of Torroemore. I like the footprints leading to the spot where the photo was taken, and the grey tombstone looking things that must be ice fishing shacks. i’m sure we are all thinking the same thing. How great would it be to have a similar 360 degree view in […]

Man in blue. Dear Matthew, Itís my fault. No, really, it is. Do you remember sitting in momís car waiting for that two hundred and fifty pound trooper with his crewcut, and face hacked out of granite? The guy who barely fit in the passengerís seat. And do you remember all of my helpful questions […]

Fabulous family photo send by Susan: “It is the lace curtain Irish (as opposed to shanty) family Fallon †— Rose and Michael being the procreators. †God knows when it was taken ó mid teens, maybe? †Our grandmother, Florence Grace †Fallon Hotze (but was she Hotze at this point?) is second from the left in the […]

Jimmy sent me a panoramic view of Torroemore and beyond. This is a remarkable collection of hand held photos – think human tripod with a swivel mount. Yeah, it does make me nostalgic for a 360 degree view. Wider View

Weíre home. Except for Dianeís sickness almost unto death, and Brianís early departure, it was a great visit. My mother is loving, resilient, generous, and truly an inspiring example that as one ages, one does not have to become, as Susan describes it, less crisp. And for that matter, given my fatherís deft touch in […]
