Things that go through your head.

Last March when all the really loved (and planned) siblings were celebrating their birthdays.. I posted such events on my Trunk Cheese blog.. I thought.. How great it would be if Dad made it all the way to Tophers Birthday.?????

By the time my Birthday rolled along in August I knew that would not happen. He died 11 days later.
Happy Birthday little Brother. 
We don't talk everyday.. We filter our lives through Mom.. and that is okay, because when we do get together, we click and I love you!

And though you are doing well in life, I am sure she would catch you if you falter. 

Reliving the 70's

The things I loved about the 1970's

Hey it was a brilliant show!



My little people school house.

 

My little brothers were born in that decade.


The first time I went to the beach was in the 1970's.. we met up with this crew.

The Turners!

Today I met up with the Turner girls decades after.. They were always so cool! The California, not so Mormon, crew that we had fun with.

Now we are in our 40's and 50's.. lives have been lived.. but something don't change, they are still fun and I am glad I spent the morning and afternoon with these generous, gregarious women.

Talking about our parents, antics from our childhood, and swinging the slot arms.

I get to spend more time with these fantastic women tomorrow... Here is to you Becky, Lisa and Jenny!

My fixation.

I have been fixated on real estate photos.
The bad to be exact.

Okay nice....

Potheads!!!! Really?

Hey is that a hookah in your messy kitchen?

So it's all good.. chill.. I love finding this shit!

I am just minding my own business.. playing with the camera that Dad left me..

Getting some great shots, Right?

I love Dad's camera, takes fantastic pics.

Oh shit open door, the crazy lady house is inviting. 

I am pulled in, the tide is too great for me to resist.

I hold my breath and venture into the galaxy that has been vexing me for months. I hold camera steady and enter... Vicki's domain.

Wholly shit and then some... 

Today I saw...

Today I saw Big Bird, Elvis and Rick James.. 
Fremont Street is full of Characters.

I swear I didn't do it!

Mom and I went downtown.. just because we can. Had some lunch.. and played some slots. 

Now she is packing her bags and getting ready to head out again.

 Atlanta area this time.

Mom loves all her kids, even the straight, less funny ones.

Hey! Where's the color and fun? Not all Heterosexuals are this boring.

I think Sarah needs to design something more eye catching for the 90% of non-gays!

 

Vegas fun facts. That will save your life.

I have lived in Vegas for under two years, and watching the new has taught me these two important facts.


1- If the cops tell you to show your hands. Do it! They will shoot you dead.

Seriously they like to answer questions at the inquiry after your family sues. And you are still dead.
 

Even white dudes. 

The other thing.

2- Never assume that a cross walk is safe.

The last couple of weeks we have had a rash of pedestrian fatal accidents. The news is just now reporting another one.

Little girls, teenage trick-or-treaters. Students getting it by the schools bus.. BREAKING NEWS: UPS Truck Hits and Kills Women  the cars are out to get you!

Ouch!

Just for shits and giggles, tomorrow Mom and I are thinking of venturing out to check a new bus route that goes downtown and to the airport... 

I think we will wear our safety orange.

I think we will take our chances.

Coulrophobia

Nature or nurture? Who the hell cares?
I know where my need for practical jokes come from..... 


June that wasn't nice.

Yikes!!!!!!

She knows I hate clowns... their dirty beards and sad ass painted frowns... (Smiles)

I'm not a total freak.. I don't have nightmares but come on... they are creepy.

Serial killer creepy.

She thought it would be funny to leave me a present when she went to Reno and left me this nefarious creature.

What's worse than a clown.. A freaking used clown from Goodwill!

I guess Sodom now has a new best friend.

Dude, you smell funny.

It all about family..

Sarah has the right idea.. proclaiming all that she is thankful all month long.

I was just recently saying to Chell that I am lucky in the sibling department.
About this time last year, I was working at my psycho job. I mentioned that I couldn't wait to get home because my brother was flying in. 
My crazy boss Jim was genuinely confused as to why I would want to spend time with my brother..
Well Duh, its Mikey..  

Now that things have calmed down here, the visits have slowed and I really miss the trips to the airport, picking up some of my favorite people.


Mom is now packing her bags and seeing her kids on their own turf. 
Tomorrow she is off to see Mike in Reno... 

Ahhh.. That's why Mike stays in Reno.
