long journey home: letter from a tour
http://burruss.blogspot.com/2015/03/letter-from-tour.html
Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Letter from a tour. H Westbrook and His Orchestra. I got your letter today written last Friday. It sure was welcome. Pat wrote too. - As I had written Evelyn the details etc. and told her to pass the letter around. I guess Pat will get all the news from her. However, I'll include a few notes in here for him. I'm out of ink so you'll have to excuse this pencil. You'll also find you $5.99 here - and Thanks. You can rest assured nothing. Could happen to me. Style with tenor playin...

long journey home: jennie
http://burruss.blogspot.com/2009/08/jennie.html
Thursday, August 27, 2009. This is an image I stumbled across of one of my older sisters, Jennie. I have four sisters total. This meant that it was always difficult to get to a bathroom in the mornings growing up. I have two older sisters, Jennie and Irene. I also have two younger sisters, Cindy and Florrie. The guys in our family were outnumbered, but it was a great time. Below is the most recent image of Jennie from the Winthrop University website. She's still pretty and radiates the same smile. I was ...

long journey home: March 2015
http://burruss.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 22, 2015. If God ever silenced his voice in our consciousness, withdrew his hand from our lives, removed his very presence from this world - everyman would feel the absolute void - experience immediate immedicable darkness from around and from within. Like the air we need to breath to live, we would each cease to be and this world end. David B. Finlayson. Friday, March 20, 2015. Click on letter to see in separate window. Somewhere in North Africa.

Wednesday, March 5, 2008. Dad's little booking ledger lists the Ausable Chasm. I found this image of the hotel there and it might be the very place that dad ventured to and that I posted about back in December.

Boomerville, USA: October 2014
http://boomervilleusa.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2014. I don't remember the year but I'm pretty sure it was 1972, during my first year of junior high school. It was the last time I went trick-or-treating. Kids my age were still going door to door for the fun and candy of it. Brook drove us all around the mountain neighborhoods that night. The ride was more enjoyable than the stops that evening. Brook usually had his 8-track going, but tonight it was just the sounds of that night. I remember the sound of that MGB motor ...The lyric...
