Today I donated again, and I expected it would be just the same as any donation of a pint of blood. Feel dizzy, get free pseudo-Oreo cookies and some orange juice, and then merrily go on my way. I never know the recipient of my blood...I know it's someone in need, but I always enjoyed the anonymous donation.
Then a man stopped by my table as I was opening a box of raisins while I sipped my orange juice. A veteran (I believe from the Vietnam war era) came to tell me of his bone marrow di...

I was browsing around River Pines CA and found an airplane flying - right over a poof of smoke in a summer photo.
You can find it at
38 deg 33' 15.41"N
121 deg 43' 34.83" W
Or look south of the intersection of Mount Aukum Rd. and Cedar Creek Rd.

This is an amazing shade of gray-blue-purplish, and it's of a fern I photographed in Hawai'i last week. It was on the Kaumana Trail, on the Saddle Road, linking the northern areas of the east and west on the Big Island. Aside from the scientific details, Check out the color on this beauty! I have not modified the picture!
Details: Family GLEICHENIACEAE
Species: Dicranopteris linearis

Hey folks,
On July 5th, I was in Philadelphia with my family, checking out the Constitution Center and the Liberty Bell and all that stuff, celebrating the founding of our nation. I went into the gift shop, noticed a cute stuffed bald eagle, and read the label: "Made in China".
Hmm....OK, maybe I'll check out the mugs. "Made in China".
*bleh* - anything made in America?
Postcards? Printed in China
"We the People" baseball cap....Made in Vietnam
Laura Bush Bobblehead...Made...

OK, although I was the only car ridin' high (there were some scrapers!), I managed to be one of the 800 cars in the West Coast Kustoms cruise in Paso Robles on 5/25. I discovered the Buick (still unnamed with a nickname - any suggestions??) doesn't like slow cruises - I made it up Spring Street about 10 blocks (enough to get a photo taken) and then she wanted to overheat. The 440 mile round trip on highways 101, 680, etc. were nice and cool though!
BTW I just installed a 25 oz. Foster's...

I first met Spencer on May 27, 1970. He was a little tyke. Couldn't make his own dinner. Couldn't even make it to the bathroom by himself. Had to teach him alot. After awhile, he kinda picked things up - never his own room though, just other things. He always had a different drum beat going on - made me really proud. Never looked at things the way most people do - that makes him soooooooo special.
He had to have an inguana, so he got one. Needed to have a scorpion in his room - we kept a close eye on it. Held his pet kitten in his arms while it slowly died from an injury - on that day, I knew my son was a man. He was just a little bit over 12 years old. I found a nearly complete cow skeleton bleaching out behind the bushes in the back yard when I was trimming them - I aged about 2 years that day. Never knew how it got there -or where the Hell it is now.
I have learned more about life and myself through him and his sister Holly. I have become one of the richest men alive today because of them thar two kidlets.

Oh my gosh. Where on earth do I begin?! I guess I should tell you that Spencer is my brother.
There is NOTHING about him that I would change. He is smart. He is goofy and playful. He is SO incredibly supportive and loving. He is a fabulous dad to two of the coolest kids I know. He follows all that is positive. He's only really hurt me a couple times growing up like when he shot elastic at my face because I threw my mom's lipstick in his eye. But that was fair, right?!
Throughout my years of dating, I always judged my boyfriends by the way my brother got along with them. He didn't know that at the time of course. Thank gawd he likes Chris! (I didn't have to kick him to the curb!)
I am so fucking FORTUNATE to have Spencer in my life. He is someone I adore and love to hang out with. I'm thankful that I get to walk this walk of life with him.

Spencer REALLY knows how to party, even if he has no idea what is going on at the time...
Seriously, though, I don't remember when I first met Spencer... perhaps at KFOG Kaboom? Or at a party in Tahoe? Was that it? I can't remember. And I'm sure he can't either, and that makes it okay.
I liked Spencer from the start, partly becasue he's a lot like his sister who is a good friend of mine and partly because... well... he's Spencer and he's a funny, crazy kinda guy. My life is improved because I know him.
SPENCER! When we gonna party? Everyone is maried now so there's no more bachelor parties! WAAAAAAAH!
Makes you think, doesn't it?
