Just a couple of random notes....

1.  I'm so very sad to hear that Ted Kennedy has brain cancer.  I guess it hits me on a number of different levels. Very sad.

2.  I think I finally had a good night's sleep last night....that's what exhaustion will do for you.  I could have used more of it but at least I feel slightly human today.

3. Haven't done my thank you notes yet....but I promise I will...

4.  Owen has decided that the name of his band is going to be Blue Ooze.  He's written several songs...but wants to work on them a bit more before he performs them.

5. This is what it's like living with Owen.  I asked him if his apple was good.  Instead of a simple 'yes' or 'no' this is what I got:

Is the Kennedy clan cursed or something? They have nothing but nothing but bad luck.

Glad you got some rest.

Evan says his band's name will be Tattooine Ghost (it was the title of a Star Wars novel that we listened to in the car).

That Owen. So funny.

Don't worry about thank you notes. No one expects them so soon. Take care of yourself and your family.

Don't bother with the thank-you cards. If you really feel strongly about sending them out ask a friend to help you or better yet do them for you. Would Emily Post approve? Maybe not, but it might just save your sanity.

Drive-in Theaters

  • Getting ready for the evening...
    My friend Eileen says that the reason I've been so obsessed with drive-in movie theaters is because my parents never took me to one as a kid. She's probably right. She usually is. Reportedly my older sisters went to the drive-in but I have no memory of it. The first time I remember going to the drive-in theater was with Eileen and I think it was the summer before college. I remember eating dried apricots and some kind of warm pop while watching a bad movie with a Cheap Trick song on the soundtrack..... My friend Alice and I were in grad school together in the late 80's outside Detroit. We ended up photographing drive-in movie theaters throughout the midwest as well as brief trips to various other spots. We always said we were going to write a book but we never did. I just dug out the slides I have though and man, there were some great drive-ins!!! It's been twenty years so of course many of these are gone I'd love to hear from anyone if they have drive-in anecdotes or know if any of these are still around. I took some of the photos, Alice took some---I'll do the Lennon/McCartney things and just list us both on all of them. She can always switch the order of names after I die.
