ICYMI: 1964 NY World’s Fair: The past few weeks I've been scanning my parents’ Kodachrome slides, and have unearthed many wonderful photos of me and my family. This one is of me - age 12 - in front of the Unisphere at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair.

It was a different world 60 years ago. The 1964 World's Fair was bristling with optimism about technology and the future. Donald Fagen wrote a song… https://hermosawavephotography.com/260914/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #1964WorldsFair #Unisphere #Kodachrome #FamilyMemories #Nostalgia

I’ve been going through old photos and this one packed a wallop for me. I reimagined the original photo as a painting before sharing it, but nothing could change what this moment means to me.
I was a teenager, proud of the Thanksgiving pie I’d made, while Dad finished carving the turkey behind me.
Over the years, this photo has come to mean so much more. It reminds me of how he was always there—steady, supportive, quick with a smile, and always ready to make me laugh. Those are the memories I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. ❤️

Found my brother’s jacket in the hall closet today. It’s remarkably similar to my own—different color and brand, but both are fleece zip-ups embroidered with “San Francisco.” We bought them on the same trip more than ten years ago when he, Dad, and I drove the Pacific Coast Highway starting in San Francisco.
That trip gave us so many good memories. Best of all, his jacket fits me. My own has always been a favorite, and now his will be treasured too. ❤️

Rayven having some strawberry ice cream with Grandma, before he heads back home.

I got Rayven a few different ride ons/trikes last year. All were found for free from local ads. He grew out of the hippo & grew into this trike. He can pedal it now 🙂

He wanted to go outside & ride, after eating.

Ứng dụng FamLife vừa ra mắt bản MVP giúp lưu giữ hồi ức gia đình thông qua trí tuệ nhân tạo (AI).

Thay vì chỉ lưu giữ hình ảnh, AI sẽ đóng vai trò "người phỏng vấn" để trò chuyện với ông bà, cha mẹ, từ đó chuyển hóa những kỷ niệm cũ thành các câu chuyện viết hoàn chỉnh. Đây là cách ý nghĩa để bảo tồn di sản gia đình trước khi quá muộn. Ứng dụng hiện có trên Web và Android.

Tết xưa luôn in dấu hình ảnh cha bên nồi bánh chưng sôi, tiếng củi nổ lách tách và giấc ngủ ấm áp trong ổ rơm. Bâng khuâng nhớ về quãng thời gian trôi qua khi gia đình quây quần, lòng bỗng chạnh lòng. Những ký ức quý giá không thể nào phai nhòa. #TetXua #KyUcGiaDinh #NhoCha #VanHoaTet #TraditionalValues #FamilyMemories

#ThrowbackThursday 2022.
I miss Dad very much 😢 ❤️ He's been gone for over 2 years now.
I remember this day well. It was an excellent family bonding day. We had a nice dinner after a short walk together. 3 months after this photo was taken, Dad had to go to ER for a leg muscles issue. He was infected with covid by unmasked hospital staff. It happened shortly after our eugenics government removed public masking mandates. Dad ended up dying from covid related cardiac arrest, the following Summer.

I have never forgiven the #BCgovernment or #unmasked #hospital staff for killing my Dad. We had him fully protected with home #caregiving for years. It took less than 2 days in hospital for him to get #covid.

Please #WearAMask. Please don't let my Dad & others who died from getting covid from unmasked people, to be forgotten. It could be you or your family members, next. Covid doesn't care if you believe in it or not - it will end up wrecking your life, one way or another.

Camp Snap 8 (CS-8) Review: Pretty But Preposterous https://petapixel.com/2025/11/29/camp-snap-8-cs-8-review-pretty-but-preposterous/ #campsnap8videocamera #vintageinspired #familymemories #analogvideo #videography #Equipment #camcorder #giftideas #homevideo #toycamera #Reviews #lofi

As the last pennies are minted today in the U.S., I am reminiscing about all the years when my family's grocery/deli sold a wide assortment of penny candy. We had 1¢ bubble gum, 1¢ mini tootsie rolls in a dozen flavors, 2¢ cinnamon fire balls, 2¢ lemon balls, 2¢ peppermints, 3¢ Mary Jane taffy, 3¢ Laffy Taffy, 3¢ caramel creams, 3¢ root beer barrels, and 3¢ lollipops.

There was an elementary school about a block from our store, and the homeward-bound kids would stop in and dither for fifteen minutes deciding how to spend a dime or quarter, selecting three of this, four of that, while my dad waited patiently for them to choose. We stocked small-sized paper bags especially for the candy sales.

Our selection of penny stuff was pretty extensive from the 1970's through the 1990's. The last years we were in business, in the 2000's, a lot of the penny stuff went up to 3¢, and the 3¢ stuff went up to a nickel, and a few items went up to a dime or disappeared entirely. But right up until we closed in 2007, there were still some candies for a nickel or less, and the Penny Candy Brigade were loyal.

When we closed up, we put a sign on our window thanking all the people who had supported our business, and included a special shout-out to that Penny Candy Brigade.

A year ago, teaching my little nephew, how to play a #RainDrum.

Okay, this question needs a long answer, because there's a story to tell.

When I was a kid, decades ago, my sisters and I learned what we still refer to as "the bathroom wall poems". My dad would post a poem next to the mirror over the bathroom sink, and just leave it there. No requirement that we memorize it. Just there it was.

Whenever we combed our hair, brushed our teeth, or washed our hands, we would have this poem right there in front of our eyes. Gradually, lines and phrases would start to stick in our minds, like earworms. We'd start reciting them more and more easily. After a few weeks, my dad would replace the poem with a new one.

Fifty years later, all three of us can still recite, at the mere drop of a hint, every line of "Tiger tiger burning bright..." or "Whose woods these are I think I know..." or "I wandered lonely as a cloud..." or "Hope is the thing with feathers...." or any of more than a dozen other poems. What we learn as kids sticks in our brains forever. And we still refer to them as "the bathroom wall poems", a phrase which gets us weird looks from most people.

My memory of this evening is the noise. Arriving at my grandparents' house, waiting for uncles and cousins. Going into the kitchen to "steal" something my grandmother had prepared. My grandfather, proud, showing the arrangement of the tables. Meanwhile, seeing my grandmother busy preparing something different for me because she knew I wasn't a fan of the "traditional" menu. I never asked for it, but she knew and did it for me.
Then everyone would arrive, and we would gather around the table. Often with the same jokes - every year, the same, like a ritual. When we were kids, we sat at a separate table. As teenagers, we were gradually "promoted" to the adult table. We sat at the table in groups of 15, 20, sometimes more. Chatting, joking, discussing. Noise. Warmth. Closeness. Life.

Serene years. Years of tragedies that have deeply marked this time of year. But that table was always ready for everyone. Year after year.

Then, little by little, the children who became teenagers grew into adults and started to be less present, caught up in their lives and, later, their new families. And the elderly grew older and, gradually, started to pass away. And not just the elderly, unfortunately.

But the memory of those years remains, of those moments, of that noise – the noise of joy, of family.

Whether tonight or any other night, cherish every single moment with your loved ones, because it is precious and it will remain so for the rest of your life.

And tonight, at BSD Cafe, panettone for everyone! 😆

A seasonal ear worm as I edit stuff and deal with press release stuff this morning before the editorial meeting: from the time I first heard it in 1988, it became my favorite rendition of this tune.
