Hobson's Boots.

My son Hobson joined the Marines, to the dismay of his parents, right out of high school. He trained at Pendleton, near San Diego, then Virginia and then was stationed in Twenty-nine Palms. He did one seven month tour in Iraq which was one of the most grueling times of our lives. He's out now, married and lives close by. In fact he and I make beer together. Some of it has even been delicious.

Another Cover

Another LP from my collection. I like the cover and the music's not bad either. It's from 1961 and the liner notes include "Selig Furniture courtesy of Bloomingdale's. Clothes by Pantino, Inc."

Coffee Time

Love this album cover from my collection of vinyl. I guess because it reminds me of my childhood when my parents would have friends over for bridge club. The house would be loud with laughter and full of smoke. And always a record on the stereo console.

My ET4 X 4

This is my Vespa ET4 that I ride around Seattle on, sometimes even in the rain.

Laces Akimbo

I've already posted one of these photos but after putting it together with it's sisters thought I'd add it as a little story.

My son Skyeler.

My oldest son Skyeler is a chef at Txori in Belltown and Vios in Ravenna. He makes delicious tapas at the former and Greek food at the latter. I don't get to see him enough.

Souvenir

Stopped in to see my friend Curtis at his shop, Souvenir in Ballard, and took this picture of the art on display there.
