This is my pathetic
excuse for a blog. |

Here's 'B.O.B.' (Big Ol' Bike).
It's my winter
project, or latest death wish, not sure which yet.
I, or one of my survivors, will probably post an update sometime late in the Spring.

So, ten years or so
ago I decided to become a sculptor, using the boys as guinea pigs. Got
halfway through and put it aside, in part due to complaints from the
boys. Last summer the project was resurrected - that's what free time
will do to you - and here's where we are so far. . . |

And speaking of spare
time, I was about to donate an old, outdated world globe to Goodwill,
when I decided to make a moon globe instead. A little spackle, some
Sharpie lids and pen caps and, voilą. In plenty of time for the 50th
anniversary of Apollo 11 (I'm very excited!) If you can make out the red
hatpin on the globe, that's the approximate landing site. And if you're
a fellow space nerd, go watch
"In the Shadow of the Moon"
You won't regret it. |

In my previous life,
I was really into cars. Top photo is me building my bored, stroked
and balanced 283 (now 301) Chevy engine. On the right, the first car I
bought with my
own money, a 1962 corvette (1966-1975). I drove it to work for ten
years. |

Oh, alright. Here's my second car, E-type series 1 (1974-1983). It was
the sleekest, the fastest (150) and I drove it whenever I could afford
the parts to keep it running, which was not that much. |

Finally, here's the
obligatory childhood selfie, taken about 80 years ago at a miniatures
show, possibly in Philly - (sorry, all the airports and salesrooms seem
to run together) - looks like I was
having a good time. |

Would anyone like
to hear about my dinner with Bruce Springsteen? |
