SFO - Kudos on the Philip Rd ode to the ages. I remember the "soap box" cars. Dad did ours with an actual car steering wheel and we nick named it Big Wheel. Softball games in Roses yard were always the high lite of summer nights. Your dad had all the equipment and always invited us to also play/participate in the annual French Paper picnic game. I think he enjoyed showing off his neighborhood team. I also remember a number of whiffle ball tourneys with Arnie and John in the back yard at Whites' home, football games in your side yard - no girls - and the winters sliding around in the woods on sleds and toboggins dodging around all the trees. (The beatles show using badmitten rackets is still making me laugh! What did we use for drums?) Still have never been able to enjoy strawberry jam like Moms'- she use to make it out of the wild berries I'd bring home for her to use. Mushroom - and not the kind from Green Giant - were a treat for my Dad and he'd always be happy when Mom had those on the table at dinner time. I also remember a number of times stepping onto your porch to ring the bell only to have your Mom say "Not yet - they'll be out after we finish dinner" - and she meant all of you - Sally, John, you and your father. Softball couldn't start until we had the equipment. Later your Dad just told me to go into the garage and take it over to the field. I figured out it was really cause he was tired of carrying the stuff himself - but I didn't mind.

Wasn't Phillip Road a great place to grow up, Tom?! Mom said the kids in the neighborhood don't come out and play like we all used to - probably too busy playing 'Guitar Hero' or Facebooking their peers... how sad! Look at what they missed out on!

When some of the Rose kids came home a few years ago, we got together and talked about "Phillip Road" - it keeps us connected year after year. There aren't many of the originals left out there anymore but the memories that our little neighborhood gave us will live on forever, long after Bob and the Jan's are gone.

We all spent a lot of quality time together
before families moved hither and yon... it bonded us. We're family, forever!

We all seem to have fun growing up! Now we get up go to work, then choke down a burger, go to a meeting, come home and go to bed, and get up and do it again, retire and die! Someone help me!!!! MR. WIZARD!

Cheryl Frame (Malinowski)

Okay Donny Downer! It isn't that bad is it? I need to be pumped up before school starts, not worrying about you choking on burgers! ;) I'm going to have to switch you to a liquid diet ... you know applesauce, yogurt, ice cream, pudding etc!!

Cheryl Frame (Malinowski)

That's okay Martha Jane! Ask Jeannie Percy about my picture profile! She kept trying to take pictures where I looked somewhat "normal"! Couldn't do it! I have an aversion towards cameras! Joe said that it looks just like me!! Gotta love him ;)

PS - Kat & Jude - Have a blast - be safe! Wish I was there ;(

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let the folks who live in the area (or anyone who may be in the area before the end of the month) know that the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival's production of the comedy, Twelfth Night, is going on right now and it's fabulous! If you like Shakespeare, even just a little, you'll love this show and should definitely try to get out to see it. If you've never seen Shakespeare, this would be a great time to give it a try! The show runs through August 30th. (I enjoyed it so much I'm seriously considering going back to see it again.)

You know that feeling you get, when you lean back just a little too far in a chair, and you ALMOST go over backwards? I feel like that all the damn time.
I thought I'd blog out here in the hall, tonight. We're in this enourmous, maybe gargantuan (don't you just love that word? Gargantuan! Now, there's a real word, gargantuan) cyberspace house. This is the cyberspace house that Wendy built. Nice place, huh? Look around you. It's got these individual rooms where we can hang out with our friends, and it's got exhibitions, and even the news and weather. And you can send pictures and talk to people, privately or publicly.
Imagine if someone told us back in the day that this is what the future looks like? We'll be surrounded by cyberspace, hanging out virtually, instead of physically, as we did in h.s.
You still with us, Superman?

Okay, so more thoughts about pop music. Aren't the kids these days underprivaleged? Aren't they extremely disadvantaged? Aren't they bordering on being abused? I'm talking about how they didn't get to grow up hearing one after another fantastic new Beetles song coming out of their little "analog" clock radio! How do they find strength to live these days?!?! Hanna Montana, for pity's sake??
In case you get bored singing "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise" (CCR), you can sing, "There's a bathroom on the right."
Where was I? Oh. Don't get me wrong, there have been some good tunes since "the day" (June 12, 1974, when, as Homer Simpson pointed out, rock & roll achieved the apex of perfection). In fact, Green Day had a major goody a few years back, with American Idiot. It rocks! You could even hear several of these songs on the radio!
Now, however, it appears the only form of popular music is the Itunes Ipick 4U of the day, mostly Tibetan throat gargling, by the sounds of it. Who knew pop music would become so enamored of world music that a garage band from Antartica would become the latest craze?? (They're called "The Stuck Tongues," which presumably came from a dare regarding the frozen quanset hut they rehearse in, and, yes, I'm making this up.)
I also recommend "It's My Life," no, not the Billy Joel song, how old are you?! The one by No Doubt, featuring my girlfriend Gwen Steffani. This is outstanding use of a music studio. Get a good set of earphones if you still can, or earbuds (you sure you wanna stick that in your ear?!?) and listen to the maxed-out-distorted guitar, as it travels around the inside of your head. Of course, the Moody Blues were doing that in nineteen-hunnert' an' seventy!!
Anyway, Afro Celt and Baka Beyond are consistently good at the world music thang...
