"The Arthur Brothers" - That's how my parents used to refer to arthritis. And they had it bad. My dad had osteoarthritis. His joints were deformed by it over the years... swollen knees, knobs on the elbow. He would sometimes complain but only in a joking manner: "Them Arthur brothers got me this morning" My father served in two wars - World War II and in Korea. What's a little arthritic pain compared to taking a bullet on the battlefield and winning a purple heart? I have no such heroics to …
Candid Camera
I don't know about the rest of you but I hate almost every candid or informal photo taken of me. I am sure that it has to do with self image. Actually, I am a lot better at viewing photos of myself than I used to be. I don't run & hide anymore when the camera comes out. It is frustrating for the photographer when your desired subject refuses to be photographed. You want their image for lovely, harmless reasons and the subject (often times a female) has a near psychotic episode trying to …

The movie: “Choke”, loneliness, weight, clean house etc…
I just returned home from the most wonderful film! It is called "Choke" It is an independent US film and boasts a great cast including the glorious Anjelica Huston. See the official website on Lynne's Links. "Choke" is about Victor. We see the world thru Victor's eyes. Victor is a sex addict. Victor's mum (the sublime Anjelica Huston - I swear she is otherworldly...) is crazy and resides in a mental institution. Victor let's us in on some of his sexual escapades which he seems to have had …
I love my work!!
We have officially entered our busy season after a bit of a hiatus. Our first gig back was a very lovely wedding at the Ritz Carlton. The group was fun loving and huge dancers. The parents of the groom were fun folks. I believe the entire event was planned by the groom’s mum. That is somewhat unusual because traditionally, it is the bride’s parents who plan and foot the bill. I have been coming across it a lot lately, especially if the MOG (mother of the groom) has only sons. It seems every …
