Like yours.

'Just' reminded that Nancy's 'parents' have whisper-dissed me for years,

"He doesn't work."  + ...

(Sad: these 'workers' have mostly treated Nancy & their grandchildren like ...)   

((Good: I really cant remember ever 'not-working'.))
Oh dear.

My self-serving construct:

1938 + 

We played our asses off constantly w/o much supervision.

Like lots of kids in the '40s - '50s. 

Started working at about day-one = self-care.

Gardening + 'caring' for my frightened parent-mother. 

(1 week mommy had measles - in the dark - I did meals + beck n calls.)

While the funky-father used the merchant marines. 

A 'relatively-safe' WWII  3-year-escape from his family fears. 

At 10 yrs yardwork for neighbors + family-connection odd-jobs.

Delivering drugs w/car at 16 and thru hi sch & PCC. 

Army at 18 = 3 years of pretty-much work.

PCC w/jobs ... UCB w/jobs ... BA & Ma w/jobs ... teaching credential w/jobs ...

Berkeley Schools '66 - '98 = pretty-much work.

'63 to '70  I painted pictures constantly while pretty-much 'working' at BHS. 

'69-'70  started taking pictures while teaching-'working'. 

Nancy & I connected in '80 (!& I've always been 15 years older than Nancy).

Nancy works her ass off = Jobs-U.C.Doctorate-writes Book-Does Twins-me.

Berkeley Schools - taught & w/med benefits '66 til 2003 - incl twins meds.

2004 Edie died - we made her inheritance Nancy's retirement fund.

We live in the house that Edie underwrote = Nancy's & M&E's now.

Cant recall being out-of-work.  

In-Love  - retired -  guilty  - sad  - elated  - medicated  - ejaculated  - small, oh-dear 

Not-working  = !never.

I simply gotta comprehend that 'art-work' + life  is difficult to digest/consume.

& that's only me-tiny parts of it ... so much left ... like yours ...

'Love'.

Bill.

PSsst:

!Commonist +-! Fa-Sho.

(((Hmmmnn - Edie never questioned what I be.)))

((((& she went ta Vassar n got A's.))))

Capitalism + HumanNature = sicker n sicker ...

Age-appropriate walking.

I notice I now stroll while picture-hunting.

This includes some weaving.

My first fall is hilarious.

I stumble for literally 19 ft and almost down. 
Grab onto a tourist from behind who is initially dumbfounded.
We all guffaw with the guy across the street. 
He watches the whole thing unfold and cheers.

Again - again forever.
!Always The Big Shames.
Zuckerberg with Christie.
Capitalism - HumanNature.
We have a sadder smaller facebook.

? How in the 'worlds' are our dreams delivered.
? From what 'collections' are these amazing events fabricated.
! I believe in dreams.

Neurotic emperor without clothes.
A seminal authority remembrance.
My father naked on the toilet taking a dump.
He does that.
I do that.

?! What is there to say.
! Plenty.
?! Say it.
Necessity is the mutha of sayin' stuff.

Sam says that his day has gone completely out of control today.

Humped by Vikings +-1100 AD.
My life gone completely out of control daily.
And you expect me !? ...... at 4pm tomorrow.
Injuries-insults-boohoo's. 
Poor lilbilly.
See ya.
Punctually.

I dont even know how to 'play' the lottery.

But I am lucky.

Berkeley public-schools art-teacher 32 years.

Picture-hunter w/$1600 mo 'pension'.

Way-underpaid Edu-Prof-Wife doin' good-works.

Twins in colleges = loans n joys.

Plus hella-goodies.

Entitled-white-guy still gotta chuckle every time I'm asked to donate.

My Grandfather could - William Larned Thacher = Thacher Gates.

My Thacher-Mother couldn't afford Midland -Grampa's gates got me 2 years free.

Forget Thacher.  Even I said that.

'Poorish'-blacksheep cousin Edith Thacher Dane born at Thacher School in '13.

'Raised' at Thacher.  We got to come up from LA every xmas n summer to play.

Vassar whizz But, "You cant be a doctor, Edie." = WOMAN in the 1930s.

Her fucking favorite uncle-male doctor at Yale dished-up this bile.

She worked at LA County hospital screening cancer-slides.

With doctors always coming around the house & her pants.

A communist-symp & socialist-heart.

Lucky for Pasadena area she then lived off her died-father's leftovers. 

Started HeadStart in black-Pasadena.

Headed the Valley-area EconOppCouncil under LBJ.

Got a cross burned on our lawn for fighting to get jesus outta-town-center at xmas.

There's a dreidel & Star o David there today.

HoHoHo.

! OhOhOh was Midland a huge Gift for me.

Literally saved my-pink-ass.

I went to silly-pasadena-high 12th grade. 

In order to complete my momentary-renaissance.

I needed to physically leave Midland and my past for a billy-tabula rasa.

Relieving myself in public. 

The least of stuff.

Be well.

Bill.

Pasadena, CA. 

Talk about ice-stone-cold racism in the '40s n '50s ... Now.

Immersed !& life-saved by !Mommy's Acts ... little-talk. 

How we even danced-in-awe 9 feet from Nat King Cole.

!? At the Pasadena Civic Aud in '56.

A kind of real.
I put 'new' pictures on Flickr every week.

Bob Dylan.
I use Pandora.
Feels like I could find words that pretty-much-sum-it from each of his '60's + songs.
Being a Baroque n Mozart guy - I've mostly 'listened' to 'sounds'.
