T-ball, Pounding Hearts and Pop Songs

After work I went to Owen's first t-ball game and smirked myself silly.  I have rarely been so continually entertained for a solid hour.  Now if it had gone much longer it might have worn off but honest to god it was amusing.  We've got to figure out how to have Owen not play so hard all day on his t-ball days as yesterday he was damn tired by the time he got there....little yawns through the whole thing and his running was a somewhat sleepy lope for him.  He was incredibly happy throughout though.

He's bursting through all his clothes....he looked as though he could have eaten some of the other kids for a snack. I swear I'm going shopping this weekend. I had innocently figured that having two boys two years apart would give me hand-me-downs for the younger one.  Ha.

Leo chose to hang out at Grandma's house.  I don't mind as I think it's nice for them so have some time one on one. 

Just talked to my mother and she didn't sound so hot...she woke in the night with a pounding heart. Hmmmm.  I am taking her to see her doctor tomorrow so I guess if she seems o.k. we'll wait until then.

sigh.

Well, since I'm in popster kind of mood here's some more Phil Seymour---this time looking much cooler while playing drums for Dwight Twilley.  Notice a skinny little Tom Petty back there playing as well.  Ahhhhh......sweet babyfaced popsters....

It's amazing how different siblings can be. Size, personality, it seems like they are different species at times. Of course, then someone makes a fart joke. Boys...I can't believe I'm going to have one of those.

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.
