I'm 17 again

Really just testing my movie-making software (newly installed), so posting this short clip of my 17th birthday party. There's me, Norman's girlfriend Jackie, Mom (with our pup GI-Joe -- so named as Norman was about to enter the Army), Cousin Frankie (with his arm around Kenny's girlfriend Millie Mastellos), and Frankie's girlfriend Patty Claussenius (we called her 'The Claw'). Kenny must be taking the movie.

Forest Fires

The Big Picture has done a collection of photographs from the California wildfires which are worth taking a look at.

Autumn 2008

We had our first snow storm of the season last week. Well, actually first snow that actually stuck (accumulated). It is all gone now, but I thought I'd better post these Fall pictures that Lynda took before it was too late!

No doubt all these leaves are now scattered on the ground somewhere!

Who needs to go to New England when you have the Northwest?
