Rachel, our Rachel

Rachel is our daughter. She is the best in the whole world, as are many daughters out there. She is special, so I had to put her up on the blog. She is 17. Obviously, we love her. We have four daughters, here, so I will have to share more later, huh?

The Last Weekend

On the last weekend of Mr. Pete Townshend's Blog, the weather near my home was like this. It was quite a weekend. I will miss the Blog.

Rachel is home now, our Rachel, after a weekend in other nearby snowy mountains. I pray for all to be well today, as in some places, some families...there is much to pray for.

Lewis Carroll wrote a great story

One of my very favorite stories. I offer this picture. I think it is taken from the book itself.

What is YOUR vision?...What do you see, through "The Looking Glass"? I look forward to your ideas and comments.

Go to the mirror, GIRL (a play on words, from Pete Townshend's theme from TOMMY).

To be fair, I had to post this

Earlier on my blog, you will find that I posted a picture of Prince Charles with a Gibson SG. Pete Townshend was kind enough to tell me what the picture was all about.

I was on the Google search, and happened across this picture here, of President George Bush. I wanted to be fair, so I now show yet another world figure with a guitar in hand.

This is not a political statement. I am simply sharing an unusual picture.

Where is Your Bear Tonight?

Bears in the far north.

Shot from the USS HONOLULU (Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine) at the Arctic Circle, 280 miles from the North Pole.

I am supposed to say a few words, according the "tag" I received. What is that? I dunno!

My picture is meant to be playful. I answer the call to "go to the mirror, boy".

I was informed in my blog comments in another section, that I have been "tagged". That is supposed to result in the following...

Five things are supposed to be shared by me, as I understand.

Well then...

1) I have climbed Mt. Whitney, the highest mountain in the continguous states, four times (once in less than 12 hours).

2) I have had my dearly beloved Gibson SG for 28 years, and am only now really really trying my best to use it. It has become a relic of sorts, since it is so "old", as I am becoming.

3) My wife, Cruz, is a most beautiful and sweet Yaqui Indian/MexicanAmerican. She is perfect for me. I am imperfect for her. That may be our connection...she puts up with me.

4) I love flight. Spaceflight, aircraft, you name it. I love it. We can soar with all of that.

5) There is nothing in the whole world like looking our children in the eye. They KNOW. I love every second of that.
