Catching up

Hey Guys -

Traffic's been so low here over the last few months that I got out of the habit of checking in.  Was thinking maybe we should join the kids over on Facebook.  Jenny, Cheri, Fran, Sandy G. Lorraine and I yak away over there pretty regularly.   But Facebook is pretty public, and this page is set up for family only.

Harry - New golf clubs!  May you wear them out this summer.  Sandy and I play pretty regulary at an executive course up in Brea.  My putting is atrocious, so I must need a new putter!  The Dodgers got off to a good start, feasting on the weak teams in the N.L. West. Then Manny got suspended for a third of the season, just in time for a swing through the East.  I figured they'd come back down to earth then. But, two out of three from the Phillies ain't a bad start.  So we'll see. Losing an impact player like Ramirez can't help.

Also, nice photo of your mom and young Mark.  She called me a week or so ago about the availability of the movie my dad was in back in 1951.  I have vague memories of seeing it on TV when I was a kid.  It's available from Amazon so I ordered it and we watched it. It's called Yes Sir, Mr. Bones, and is a salute to the Minstrel Shows from the 30's and 40's: white guys in black face.  It's a cringe-a-thon of racial sterotyping, but it was fun to see the old man in action again with his vocal quartet,  even if they were in outlandish get-ups. No blackface, thankfully.  I'll post a couple of photos from it here shortly.

Lorraine - That is so cool that your job includes international travel.  We'd love to visit Vienna some day.  Hope you have some time for sightseeing.  Take pictures!

We are off to Vegas next week for a computer conference. looking forward to a break in the routine.

Cheers,

Don
