Spooks at Work

Some of my co-workers put some effort into honoring Halloween.  I didn't dress up; shame on me.  Maybe next year.

No "Before" Photos for Comparison

Today Olga cleaned for me.  I took pictures of the kitchen and bathroom when she was done.  However, only a few will really know how filthy they were before.

Finally! Good Turkey Pictures

Everybody except me has been getting great pictures of the Harvard Square turkey.  I've kept my camera handy for days and checked out favorite turkey haunts on my breaks.  Today, the turkey reappeared at the tiny garden outside the Inn at Harvard.  Gaze upon its magnificence!  (The turkey's; not the Inn's.)

Nostalgia Fest

It is a scientifically-proven fact that all the most awesome people came of age in the seventies.  So let's look back at those halcyon days.

This is what was know as a record or LP.  It records a concert given by my high school choir and orchestra.  I do not appear in the photo, because the trumpets sat way in the back.

The band had pins made.  Someday this will be a valuable antique!

In 1973 my friends gave me this going-away-to-collage gift: a toy gumball machine.  It really worked, but I only chewed up a couple of the gumballs.  Those you see here are original--forty years old!

This turkey was hanging out in the tiny park attached to the Inn at Harvard. 

A petting zoo helps lower our blood pressure on Thursdays.

Oil Paint

The new Photoshop has a filter called oil paint that is a bit weird.
