Like Kev Like Zane

This is some time in 2011. Here is Kev's Zane chilling on an arm chair like his Dad Kev. Grandpa is smiling somewhere looking up from a newspaper with Steeler's superbowl highlights on Purgatory's rec room TV.

Mind of Maria Feet Fingers Spyder Bike Ozzie

Pops caused quite a commotion when he brought this green spider bike home for me.

It had the handle bar squeeze grip type brakes instead of the red bike's kick brake. I got on it, took off, hit the "clutch" oops it was a front break and went sailing through the handle bars. Some of the neighbor boys where there to witness this epic fail so I clearly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory that day.

Ooo face all around. (An ooo face is a face Kev made when someone (other than him) faced the wrath of Pops. Kev would peek around Dad's legs and taunt you with the "ooo" face - "Ha ha you got spanked'. Sort of like the modern word "owned.")

Feet fingers. Spun sugar confection that is orange colored and shaped like a peanut with golf ball dimples. One of us called it "feet fingers" and the name struck. Alway a sugar high treat happy time when Pop's brought these home I tell you.

Brad, the man who caught Maria' heart and made millions of man cry when she went off the market with her famous mini skirts. I can still recall the day Brad poking a snow cone in Maria's face when I first met him while they were dating. Some sort of Jimmy Cagney grapefruit thing but nicer. Brad has many superpowers. Here he is as either Ozzie or Howard for Halloween.

My Babysitter

Karen Oldham is noteworthy for two things:

1) Keeping me out of the emergency room when she babysat me (not a small task considering my penchant for breaking parts of my body.) I have am mental image of a photo somewhere of me scrunched down on Dad's front porch (as a what 3 - 4 year old?) and dressed in one of my mother's english AC/DC schoolboy shorts out fits and Karen standing next to me. Pretty sure she was a teen.

2) The Romans have two people train a new Pope on how to really be a Catholic. One is my mother (Roman) and the other is Karen (Orthodox).

Karen is currently doing a John Wayne on something evil that crawled into her torso calling itself cancer. Read about the Karen giving the dark side a smack down here:

Reminds me I need to ask her or her Dad the meaning of those two extra bars on the Crucifix.

Unflappably Bubbly Winnie

I was looking for pics and found Caroline Winnie Oldham on my hard drive. She still makes me smile. Winnie had two speeds - happy and getting happier. Lol. I would say I that I miss her but she is not far away. I know she grabbed another body and is in training right now as a wee kid to grow up and be a ninja mad scientist nurse doctor inventor that bubbles away the world's pain and suffering. If you see a crowd of people having a great time and the center of the commotion is small child cracking jokes that be neo-Winnie :)

Strike A Pose Chesc

A Chesca sighting sometime between 13 year and 17 year old.

Saw her and her cell phone bill once a month back then. Same now. She goes to school and works all the time. And hits the beach.
