I moved to California in 1978. John and his wife Phyllis became my family. They welcomed me and whomever I brought over, a successive series of girlfriends, my future wife, Donna and of course, our children. Their home became our place of warmth and love through successive crises, celebrations and holidays. This blog celebrates and honors my love for them and an investigation of art from a very subjective point of view.

Home Coming Rally
Ah high school. Well first you should know that I wasn't there. But it was the talk of the English lunch. One of the boys came out in black-face, actually it was a full black body in tights. But the hit of the show was the background song "Dick in a Box". Two girls (I think two) were dressed as men and came out and stripped down to their underwear. On top of their underwear at the crotch was a small box. And I guess that opened the box to pull out a crown. The references apparently go to a Saturday Night Live Program that most people who have a TV are familiar with. Not only the principal watched but the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendent. Should I care about the ignorance and insensitivity of teenagers? Is this a sign of the downfall of American culture? or just bad taste? Sensitive readers, what do you think?
