Happy Birthday No. 1

Today is Daughter No. 1's 21st birthday. Yippie! I wanted to post some baby pictures, but I can't find the scanner. So, here are a few pictures that I happen to like that were already scanned.

First, this is the girl dressed as a unicycle for Halloween several years ago. She was too old to trick-or-treat, but the marching band members dressed in costume for the town Halloween parade. She used to be quite the unicycler.

This is my adoring and respectful daughter on the balcony of a cruise ship.
We have a special bond.

And this is the two of us before a summer band concert back when we were both involved. I love this picture because it's a sign of something we both enjoy. We are very different from each other, Daughter and I, but we find ways to connect. Band is one of them.

So, happy birthday, little girl. Enjoy it! I love you.

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...

The Ultimate Storyteller—in Life AND in Death

I wrote about The Autobiography of Mark Twain in yesterday's edition of Small Town Newspaper. You can read it here , if you want.

About her, he said, “She is excitable, malicious, malignant, vengeful, unforgiving, selfish, stingy, avaricious, coarse, vulgar, profane, obscene, a furious blusterer on the outside and at heart a coward.” And I laughed out loud.
