lnxw48a1I have been recording myself reading books for my grandsons, but I have recently paused due to some hoarseness. I think it’s related to a runny nose and post nasal drip that seems to have lasted for months. It could possibly be related to contact with cats 🐈⬛. There are some really great cats in the yard—and some that are not so great—and many of them come up and touch me with their noses or rub against me.
Anyway, I intend to resume recording with or without the hoarseness.

lnxw48a1One of my brothers sent this week’s “flashback Friday” a little early. He found some concert footage from 1984; a group we both liked. I saw the group later that year or early the next year, and the lead singer was obviously ill. This video predates that, and you can’t tell he’s sick yet.
People weren’t porky then, but he was quite a bit heavier than when I saw them playing.

lnxw48a1I don’t ever plan to contact him, but a web search found my old best friend from elementary school. I also found his sister, his mom, his brother, and his sister’s ex-husband (who was very cool 😎; he used to wrestle with us when we were 10-12 years old … he’d been a high school wrestler, so he always won). I did not find his dad, but I assume he is deceased anyway.
When we were in sixth grade, Scott’s dad lost his job. He became angry and violent with his kids, so I visited a lot less often. When we were about 21, I went to their house for dinner. 🍽️ (shark! It was really good.) The dad spent the whole evening apologizing for pounding his kids and for doing so in front of me.
