Mr Ed only ordered pizza
So the past few nights I've been watching James Bond flicks on something called Ion Television which is free since I don't have cable and though there are ads it is the ones they have been running for a movie coming in Feb that have me wondering.It's called "The Last Templar" as if we don't have enough of these goofy modern day crusades flicks.Da Vinci Code should be a pizza order not another bad movie on a bad book about well a bunch of nonsense.So the ads for this Templar thing shows the outside of a museum and then come four horses ridden by guys in robes and armor including face trotting up the steps.For some reason these four dudes dressed as crusaders trotting up the steps doesn't even draw a second glance until they get through the doors which isn't shown in the ad and then suddenly it's Kentucky Derby day as they race across the floor of the museum scaring folks out their wits and smashing things glass while they snatch the secret thing.Then they race off like Republicans with the public monies and the smart beautiful girl enters the picture to solve the crime.

More on A Wedding
That light brown suit I'm wearing in the picture is still in my closet.I have a fantasy that it will fit again some day.

A Wedding
This would have been summer of 1980 and I came home from North Truro for this weekend.I'm standing second on left with yellow tie and note I have a drink in each hand.I may have been holding it for my date but I don't think so as this was a wedding with a lot of white powder and the one where I walked out the door and everyone thought I was the bride and groom coming where they threw rice at me and I dropped my drink shattering the glass and uttered a string of curse words at the crowd.I was in a wedding at the same place,the Rochester Yacht Club a few years later and was hoping my picture still wasn't up behind the bar.
Cape Cod late spring 1978
The last pic is one of a bunch my brother put up today in the Yahoo group I started for high school buddies.Our friend Tim is in pic on the left and myself on right.My brother,Tim and I had spent the night at the Cranberry Inn in Chatam.The pic is somewhere near the Chatam Light and I still can't recall why I am wearing a Yankees cap in the pic other than to hope a New Yorker visiting Chatam would think I was one of them so I could wreak havoc on his world.That's my dads wagon and I don't know why we were driving that also instead of my Vega wagon.There was a tent in back because the next two nights we stayed incognito at the North Truro Camping area since we were both banned from the summer before by our former employer.We sent Tim into register and our friend Kate loaded him down with all kinds of gifts for us from the camp store.We took Kate to dinner in Provincetown that night and had a great time.A few weeks later I flew back to the cape for season two.

Top of my Birthday wish list
I walked up to the Pharmacy today and this beauty was parked on the street top down.Near as I can tell it's a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz though the 56 and 57 are similar.The one I saw today was a cream with a hint of yellow in the paint.A big slab of American metal when it was cool to have one.
