WHAT SUMMER MEANS TO ME...

Playing my acoustic...


Having a friend like Dari McManus read my articles...



Being involved with Hole in the Wall Camps...



A Christmas movie present that plays well in Summer...



Catching any of Steve McQueen's 30 films...

Recalling Annemarie Lucas as my Guest
on "THE INTERVIEW"!


NASA Astronaut & Eastern Airlines Chief
Colonel Frank
Borman on
"THE INTERVIEW"...A Great Mentor!


Another Great Mentor, A Friend and a
True American Hero: Al Topping!


I get more annual E-mails about Al's appearance
on "THE INTERVIEW" than any other subject!
Here is a montage from the NBC TV Movie
of Al's story. Actor James Earl Jones
played Al Topping...


The airline I covered as a journalist in liquidation
and designed an aircraft paint scheme for
(though never used)
has new owners and may fly again!

Whenever I think of Eastern, I think of Florida
where they were based...and this photo
of a few of my BLOG Page readers!

Blasting this CD on the car stereo...


Kindergarten Cop, Arnold Schwarzenegger!



Remember, there IS a Santa Claus...



Here's proof: Jewel Kilcher!

Hope you're enjoying your Summer!

Happy 4th of July weekend! I won't be around - heading up to Ottawa for the in-laws anniversary party. I'll drop in when I'm back.

Barbara Ann: lol! Well, truly, I have never seen the hatching of tiny birds captured in sequence as beautifully as you did on your BLOG site. You have a wonderful God-given gift of photography and I hope others will take a moment to stop over!

How do I get readers like that?

We lost a great actor in Karl Malden, who was one of the bad guys in Nevada Smith with McQueen.

Your summer looks better than mine but give me time I might get arrested.
I hope so, I need a vacation.

What an interesting post idea -- I may have to steal it :) For a long time, I never quite felt like summers were the same, once I got out of school. Living in TX and HI, they just kind of blended together but now that I'm in Seattle, there's such a liberating feeling during the summer time when everyone's outdoors and having fun.

That's true for me too, Becky! Yousure have lived in exciting places!!!:D)
