Nothing Short of Amazing

My sister Maricris moved into my Mom's room recently. She talked about the renovations she did: retiling, painting, and more importantly, editing. To say my mom was a packrat is an understatement. My dad used to complain that he had to perform acrobatics just to reach the windows because she had boxes two deep against the perimeter of the wall. Maricris had to wade through termite-infested floorboards, mattresses that were at least 20 years old, and 9 kids worth of mementos (or as Little Edie would say in Grey Gardens "memorabeeya"). Here's the tour she posted on youtube, with a bonus of meeting Bailey, the new dog in residence.

Tita Ermi

Tita Ermi is my mom's childhood friend who moved to NYC in 1967. Thought it would be nice to record a message from her to my mom and they can watch it back home in the Philippines:

Went to Alan's house for a Father's Day Celebration. Gues this could be my father's day portrait.

More TV Nostalgia

I was hanging out with Alan this afternoon watching "I Love the 70's". This got me thinking about two shows that I used to LOVE in the 70's/early 80's. Found some clips of one of them. Still looking for the other one.

Make sure you watch this till the relay race. That's where you see the most stars.....






And of course, the TUG-O-WAR
