Expo Memory



You knew you were getting close to Olympic Stadium when you heard the kids selling Cro-Bars. The Warren Cromartie candy bar.

I knew he was a baseball hero in Japan. Now, apparently, he is a wrestling star.

The girl is more famous than me

We were paying for parking at the indoor football arena Saturday night.
"I know you but I can't remember your name," the lady taking our money said.
"It's Tom," I said.
"No, not you, her!" she said pointing into the back seat.
"I'm Lucy!" the little ham crowed.
"Lucy! Right!I saw you graduate from kindergarten," the lady said' "What have you been up to?"
Lucy has been watching TV, playing in the yard, playing on the computer and dismantling the house.
I actually do things, but no one cares or remembers.

How to Make a Shandy

weekend movie project


It was much more complicated when we started out, but we messed up so many shots - both golf shots and video shots - that we went with something easy.

A candle for a friend

We all wish we were as tough as Carolyn.



There were hundreds of luminarias lit for survivors and victims of Cancer. our friend Carolyn is a survivor. I found her candle almost by accident.

Homer in Balloons




You can find more incredible balloon scupltures at Balloons!

some photos

Caden and Lucy, one is always happier than the other.




The rarely seen and rarely photographed Scaredy Cat. Do you think she knows her name is a form of mockery?



Cats love Lucy!!



Best kindergarten teacher ever!




Not sure why she is giving us the evil eye. Maybe it was something we said. Like, clean up your room.




We stripped the wallpaper from the bedroom wall around Easter. Some day we will get it finished and painted.... someday

A life changing moment

I just barely got this moment and you have to listen carefully. Lucy fell down as she was walking across the stage at Kindergarten Graduation. She got up, waved to the crowd and said, "I'm OK!" Now, watch!

The big moment

Lucy graduated from kindergarten. It was a fairly long ceremony and the antsy girl did a pretty good job of staying in one place. This is the part where Lucy got her certificates. As usual, she approaches the moment with a little more relish than the other kids. Truth: Lucy finds the fun in every moment possible.




Lucy's teacher loves her. Lucy loves her teacher. We love the fact that Lucy had a great kindergarten teacher that loves her. Question: was every day like this?
