GraphicGumbo3: "Poolside Thoughts"...
http://graphicgumbo3.blogspot.com/2015/07/poolside-thoughts.html
Sunday, July 26, 2015. Sitting at a restaurant overlooking the hotel pool, I noticed a middle aged woman well passed her "body building years" seated in the shade of umbrellaed table watching her ten or twelve year old son, I assume, splashing alone in the pool. Thoughts raced in my head, concocting scenarios of a lone mother and child. Where was the father? MIA from a foreign conflict? A deadbeat dad running from his own realities? A marriage gone horribly wrong? It never occurred to me. Having lost our...

Thursday, September 25, 2014. The Young Rascals, The Realtor and Good Lovin'.". My acoustic guitar and my 1966 Fender Bandmaster. I picked up the guitar last night before I went to sleep while my wife laid in bed with her computer, writing lesson plans. Without going into details, I stumbled through, a Merle Haggard song, "If We Make It Through December", The Beatles, "This Boy", and "Slow Down! It's not like riding a bike! Last night, I could barely remember the intro. Why am I mentioning all this?

GraphicGumbo3: "Well, You Drive Yo'self Safe, Now!"
http://graphicgumbo3.blogspot.com/2015/05/well-you-drive-yoself-safe-now.html
Sunday, May 24, 2015. Well, You Drive Yo'self Safe, Now! I've been here just three or four times when I'm awake, but many local restaurants here in St. Francisville aren't yet open. In spite of many coffee kudos I receive from friends, McDonald's version is serviceable. Having cared for my aged mother for so many years, I find this phenomenon, intriguing. Assuming he now lives alone, Mickey D's seems his second home where everyone can sit at "his" table. You be from Baton Rouge? Posted by Ben Bensen.

Sunday, June 21, 2015. An Unbelievable Father's Day Story". My good friend is gone. I don't know where to, or how to, start, except to say we will soon lose a dear friend * *and fellow ACCD alumni. Marty Rosenthal is in a hospice with family at his side, and I am told his time is near. No, I really don't know where to start. I first met Martin in a Jack Leynnwood class at Art Center College of Design. Kinda snotty, I know, and not really like me. Martin D. Rosenthal. He seemed to have licked it again.
