It seems obvious to me, because of the lack of maintenance, Spike has decided that this will be his summer home...period!! We have, for southern Onterrible, an insane amount of snow!

This year I'm going to ramp up the poppy production and make my own opium.

I'm digging into my vast archives of photos to bring you stuff that you probably don't care about. I went to the island of Bali, Indonesia back in 2000 and I got to sit in with a really good band. They could not speak much " ingrish " so we just played and had a ball!!!

My sister Kathy and the uber young Fkia Christmas 1956. I had no inkling of the twisted life I was to lead. The idea of crimes against nature, as a career option, would come at a later date.

While we are going back in time.....the very young Fkia can be seen mouing with vigor. No doubt I was being punished because of some trumped up charges for various crimes against nature!! As if!

This picture is from 27 years ago and I have obviously eaten very well since that time!! The black dog in the foreground is the original Spike. A black lab with all the usual fabulous traits.

I hand picked this beautiful Fender Stratocaster for Terry Reynolds' son TJ. Not only does it look good, it sounds great!! The last time I bought a new strat was 22 years ago.....it's still a great guitar, however....maybe I need a new musical love affair. I'll keep me posted.
