I had to post this...

It was very spur of the moment (I was off work early today on vacation time to do some needed chores), me and the Grandboy in the little pool in the 94 degree afternoon, but it happened. I was soon to be all soaking wet in the bottom of the pool, with that little rascal dropping buckets of water on Grandpa's head....which he loved, thought was so very funny, and I, reluctantly....but HAPPILY agreed!!

....A moment in time, it was.

PS: 1969 news to come...I need time to focus...

My sweet wife, Cruz, and other things

Cruz, fighting for her health, and looking GOOD!

As for my last post...I do have something to say about 1969, and the moon, but it is late, and I say less at this hour....I'll try again later.

My daughter, Marion's fish tank...lizard tank behind that!

1969 was cool!

Well, I happen to recall the very first time our planet placed a man on the moon. It seems that LIFE magazine has put out out some photos for "personal, non-commercial use". I tribute them for the photo I post, it is truly a BLAST!

WOW, what a time and place to have been in that moment. I, personally, have a story or two to tell about my own weak connection(s) to that amazing place in time....but I might post that all later. It is not so important....

...but the moment itself, for me, for all the world, was the stuff of dreams from the beginning of time.

Oh, did you know this week was the 40th anniversary of the moon landing? I shoulda started with saying that. Whoops.



Me, Dan, and my Dad, a WWII and Korean War Navy officer, back in the era of the '69 moon landing, give or take a year or so.
