The Model UN

Today Smiley and Junie presented their UN projects at the Tripoli Shrine Center downtown, and I had a chance to attend as a chaperone for Smiley's class..

One oddity: during a cultural fashion show Mexico was announced as a European nation not once, but twice - and the show was run by teachers!

Anyway, the hall was packed and the festivities went until six PM! Congrats to them both!!

The Ghost Sign is becoming . . . a ghost

This ghost sign on 19th and Lincoln was a favorite of mine in childhood. I photographed it twelve years ago during a visit to my parent's house. Now, there is little to be seen of it (even if you ignore the overgrown trees)

Very Much the Truth

Yup.

Life

Not the best, but it attempts to buck predictability and is certainly worth a rental

Empathy

Empathy is overrated. If I survived it, you can too. You'll pardon me if I don't think it's the end of the world.

Welcome!

The Puerto Rican Orthodox Church has entered into communion with the Catholic Church.  Welcome!

The Gong Show

I'm watching the new Gong Show. I have fond memories of the old version, which at one point featured my FB friend Tom Willett. This is equally pointless but fun. Kudos to me for recognizing Mike Meyers in costume as the host.

Stacey

We picked up our  niece from the airport!
