John Phillips
Listening to a very old cassette tape play as I record it to an MP3 file.
It's my best friend from Junior High School.
John Phillips and I ended up having each and every class together one of those years.
He was one of the other JWs there at Strobridge (Tom Pearson was the other one).
This tape I'm listening to is funny. It was a tape letter he made for me. Humor and gags. His sister Kim plays quite a part in it to. He has also called out the names Matthew and Bethany, two more siblings.
I've been meaning to try and track John down. See how he's doing. See if he's still alive. I hope so. He was an amazing guy who survived so many things. Such as nearly being killed in a hot water scalding that put him in the hospital with major life threatening burns.
John if you're reading this... get in touch with me.
Steve (you would know me as Mark, however) 619-663-9285

Captain Jack and his Sparrow
A co-worker's dog.
She sent me a color photograph and I cropped it, sepia-toned it, and then pasted the "sparrow" (parrot) back in again.
This was done using the tools of Microsoft Paint (to crop and cut and paste) and Microsoft Word (to convert to Sepia)

Tinted Mirror
It’s like my mirror is tinted.
It’s so dark that the details cannot be seen.
Glancing at myself in the mirror, I am blind to the ugliness. The dirty face. The unhealthy condition.
So off I waltz, whistling a tune, obliviously stepping on snails and daisies and seashells and porcelain figurines.

Geologists!
Bullseye Dawdle is a colorful figure, an eccentric geologist working primary in the American Southwest.
Some time ago he observed that one of his favorite rivers was drying up. To this day it remains but a trickle.
Privately he voiced his theory that the source of the river remained as dynamic and snowpacked (icy fire as he referred to it) and thus it must still be producing flow, though obviously in a different, hidden, unknown river.
Two days ago Bullseye proudly announced to himself that he had finally found it. The secret river.
Ecstatic at first, he has now become sullen and fearful of drowning in the very river that he has just discovered.
Geologists… little boys dream of becoming one. Their lives can be exciting and glamorous, yet at the same time, full of fear and anxiety.
