Random Thoughts



Thanksgiving with my family, aunt, close friends ca 1963 using a Brownie camera with Kodachrome film


It occurs to me the Instagram craze is silly. Let's face it, women of a certain age have only to look in their photo albums, shoe boxes, drawers stuffed with old square Kodak
instamatic shots for the real deal.  And it wasn't that great back then...



Why was Marion Jones sentenced to jail time for juicing and finally admitting her deception to the IOCC but A-Rod and so many others get a pass?  Does gender have anything to do with it?  Lance Armstrong continues to suffer more slings and arrows and will most likely be broke as well as stripped of his titles.  He is probably the most vilified of athletes although Marion Jones paid the highest price by serving jail time.

 


More and more people I liked and was influenced by are passing on.  What was once a distant possibility is now a daily reminder:  life is finite.

Karen Black died this week.  "Five Easy Pieces" was a seminal film back in 1970.





Dennis Farina, actor and former true life cop, died at age 69 of a blood clot. That's only 8 years older than me!
I just loved his gruff manner and wise cracking manner. His hair and moustache are so like my husband's.

  



None of these comments have anything to do with one another.

That's why they're "random".
