The Future Generation
My parents had 7 kids. They had 6 kids in 7 years and then 11 years later, they had the 7th child.
My 5 siblings had 16 children. They range in age from 47 to 23. Now, these kids are almost though their child bearing days and they have 12 kids. There may be another kid or two before this generation is finished. But I doubt they will get to 16 or 17.
Our family is working at a net loss of regeneration.

At The Rodeo- WY
I don't like rodeos. I think they are too cruel to the bulls. But I knew better than to voice my opinion here at the rodeo which everyone thought the moment was as American as apple pie.

My Black Eyes
I feel and hit my head on a cement floor. I immediate developed this huge goose egg on my far head which came as no surprise. But I was surprised when I woke uptime next day and my eyes were so black and blue, it sort of scared me. I walked around for 10 days, looking like a victim of domestic abuse.

Lucy
It was a thrill to see Lucy in Ethiopia. The oldest skeleton ever found must have been so damn exciting for the two young men who found her. I wonder how long it took for them to learn what a huge discovery this was for civilization.

The Bund- Shanghai, China 1994
I haven't been back to Shanghai since this photo was taken in 1994. At that time, there were no cars on the streets, just thousands and thousands of bikes, dodging the pedestrians. Now, people tell me there are no bikes on the streets, just cars, thousands and thousands of them, dodging the pedestrians.

My Nails
For 67 years, I bit my nails and then one day I stopped for some unknown reason. So I went out and got my nails sloshed for the first time. And then two years later, when I turned 69, I started biting them again for some unknown reason.

A Theater View
I usually look at this theater from the back, where I stand as a volunteer usher. It's interesting to see it from this angle. In a few minutes, it will fill up with faces. I only see just the heads, hats and scarves.
