2022 starts tomorrow

And I was thinking, how many offspring do Mary & Jack have?


I started scanning the 5 Christmas cards I received this year & looking at some photos.

I started with Alyce the elder & thought I'll just zoom thru some family photos...

I soon realized that I bit off more than I could chew...So I did this.




you will have to sort it out yourself


You'll have to guess who these people are!


some are pretty obvious


& how they are connected


This is 7 year old Brynn


Paddy & Katie have Michael & Thomas


These boys need a pompadour!



These four are related


these 3 are becoming friends...


These two live not too far from the Boston Harbor


a mishmash of cousins

You may think it's about the dogs, but...

The FedEx driver is having a difficult day. I've been there/done that.


Now he has to call the dispatcher & try to explain what happened...

December 1965 on CBS


“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying: ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth, peace and goodwill towards men.’” 

That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

My wife gave me $200.00 to buy a new Nativity set.

   She said, whatever is left over you can use to get yourself something, cause I didn't buy you anything for Christmas this year...

It's long. But I learned more than a few things.

I may be watching too much Youtube on the wrong topics, but I see how
vulnerable we seasoned citizens can become. Makes me somewhat paranoid.

I regret that I never got to see Carole King perform...


Of course, I am not a regular concert goer...Last concert I believe I saw was

Jesus Christ Super Star in the 80's at the Spectrum...

The Art of living anywhere...

Some people live a life different than me. The SV Delos life looks fun. But 
not for me, even in my younger days... The Captain, Brian has been at it now for more than ten years. His wife has been part of the crew for about four years. The Nugget is now two. I enjoy watching their weekly adventures.

More Amanda bragging from Grandpop...

 Amanda (15) is a Sophomore @ Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, Ca.



Amanda has become the starting midfielder for the girls soccer team.
They are 5-0 so far!

I made the mistake of asking, "What does mira costa mean"

Amanda is fluent in Spanish & was stunned I did not know!

Mira Costa simply means 'see the coast or look at the coast'

That pissed me off, so I asked her,

What does Cardinal Dougherty mean...

I'm still waiting for her answer.
