Home Sweet Home

I spent a wonderful Sunday back in Brooklyn! I got there hours early for a surprise birthday party so I drove around and visited some of the old places.

I started a series of looking back, telling some stories, remembering some people posts over on THE PHOTO BLOG.

I even went by where Nana lived!! I'm working on that post.

Stay tuned. As Manny (an old friend's grandson) observed on Sunday - "you take pikchas and strangers look ad em? and you write bout personal, private stuff!? right on duh compuduh! that's fuckin' incredible!"

I agree. When you do it, it IS "fuckin' incredible!"
(spellcheck dloesn't like the word "fuckin'". I wonder if it would accept it with the "g"?)

Glad you had the chance to wander back through memory. I'll be looking forward to posts about it.
