When Eddie was here he told us about the brother of Christopher's friend. I admit that these horrible events in the lives of people make me squeamish & too sad & I want to just tune them out...

But a couple of people asked me to Post this on the blog, so I will...I am not good at 'links'...

Christopher is about 29. I believe this is the younger brother of Chris's best friend. And bad stuff happened to him.

"An extremelyy close and loyal family friend, Dan Kleckner, recently went through, literally, the fight of his life. Dan is an amazing person who has never hesitated to help family and friends. On March 11, 2015, Dan went to the emergency room in excruciating pain with a fever of 103°. Hours later he entered septic shock from a raging staph infection. Dan's condition was termed 'a complete body shut down', he was placed on life support. In order to save his life, doctors performed multiple surgeries resulting in a double amputation of both of his legs above the knee. Dan will need months of aggressive therapy and surgery to hopefully get him to the point of being able to use prosthetics. If you can, please help support Dan's medical costs and share this page! Thank you, thank you."

Another Brother visits Gettysburgh

Timmy went to the battleground tour today

with Seana & the Zee kids. It was a long walking day

and Timmy insisted on visiting 33 of the 476 canons on site...

(so he could catch his breath & lean on them)

The other brother that visited the battleground

was Michael & his lovely wife Mary.

They visited on Super Bowl Sunday when the 

Eagles played the Patriots.

There are no photos of Michael leaning on canons

'cause they were on a heated tour bus w/head phones on.

There are also no photos of Michael

watching the Super Bowl that year.

The bus was stopped at the Valley Forge rest stop on the Turnpike,

where they all enjoyed a pre-paid dinner of chicken, mashed potatos & peas.

It was included in the package deal.

Or maybe I am misremembering the whole thing...

A Brotherly Shootout

The competition was fierce my friend! But in the end, only one brother could win.

Take a look! This epic battle was filmed in SLOW MOTION and edited on an iPhone.

Every once in awhile I ask myself, "I wonder what Eric is doing today?"

and here is in 2013...2 years ago...what is he doing today do you think?

I just checked his where-abouts today,

Eric is on his Island tonight.

His boat is docked

And the Island is secure

But looks like another few bizzy days ahead this coming October

when Eric has to boat to Brazil for a concert.

"It is very, very Hot in Brazil"

I believe I read somewhere recently that 134 countries enter the Tournament.

Note: I got into this through my grand-daughter Amanda, age 9, who is on a Championship

Soccer Team.

USA! USA!

USAmanda!

Pathetic!

What kind of childhood did these idiots have? What kind of education? And what about their kids?

Quiz your kids & Grandkids regarding the 4th of July so if they meet this guy on a pier they will not embarass themselves and sound like Morons!

A Poolside Football catch...Summer days @ Poppys Pool

even cloudy days can be fun

Poppy lets us watch TV & Uncle Pea

says TV turns us in to Zombies

Pools can be a load but when you see your 

Grandkids enjoying it...the load lightens.

Poppy & Nanny are appreciated.

I see it every Summer day.

A surprise visit today...Michael & Eddie showed up...

...as I was vacuuming...and I heard them playing Music on my patio...

We had a real nice visit. Of course Timmy wasn't here. He was enslaving 2 of his Grandkids
at The Shop making Tee shirts. Timmy & the slaves got home an hour later & we went to Lunch.

Me, Michael, Timmy & Eddie left the slaves Home Alone watching TV.

We ate at The Station House. Faith works there but was off today.

Michael paid for lunch...(we alligator armed him when the check arrived).

Came back to my Patio and discussed the following Topics, among other things:

• The 76er's situation
• Vacations
• Wives
• Alyce & Paul
• Retirement
• Dermatolagists
• John
• MRI's & CAT scans
• Our kids & their spouses & BFF
• Ice Hockey & the expense of it 
• How much does an engagement ring cost now-a-days
• Shopping with your wife
• Men's nostril hair
• My guitar playing & the songs I have sung so well
• Alumni Reunions. Michael has one in November. Told me to check out a CD website to see photos of people I have not seen in years. I checked it out. I saw no one I knew after 176 photos until I saw this guy...CD class of '61...

• In the upper right hand corner

Thank you Michael for the Lunch!

The HandyMan Can Do It (headphones suggested)

I am at the mercy of our handyman. I hadn't recorded anything in a long time. I combined the two... (click on the link)

The Handyman Can Do It

I got this guy, comes to my house
he fixes things, he helps me out
I'm not too good, with hammer and nail
when I try, I mostly fail

When we got married, my wife assumed
I knew the basics to fix up a room
there were times frustration reigned
we needed help to not go insane

CHORUS
we got to call somebody
we got to call somebody
we got to call somebody
the handyman can do it

Our kitchen floor has cracked tile
it's been that way for a while
we threw a rug so we don't see it
when friends come over they can't believe it

CHORUS

If it rains, he'll come tomorrow
don't tell the neighbor, he'll want to borrow
I ain't your friend, I ain't your friend

Leaky skylights, bad electric
I'm so helpless it's pathetic
the list goes on, what he can do
my wife is wondering if he'll help her too

CHORUS
