Odds and Sods 10/31/22

Happy Halloween!  Let’s play ketchup.

On October 23, 2022, we had our 50th high school reunion.  There was a contest for best costume 1971, and too hilarious, Gary won.

Erm…he dresses like that every day.

And yeah, I’m aware we look like what we are.  Fucking rock royalty, baby.

Hahaha or at least the parents of rock royalty.






On Saturday, we had an awesome Halloween dog parade in our hood and Jasper won Mr. Congeniality 😎





Finally, speaking of rock royalty, check out Gary last night.



First, Adrian Belew introduced Gary to Todd as “my bass player and former drummer’s dad and my very good friend.”

Gary and Todd had quite a chat.  Gary shared how the bass player in his first band when he was 17 bought the bass player’s bass from Woody’s Truck Stop in 1970, Woody’s Truck Stop being Todd’s first band.

Then Gary shared that it was our son Eric who interviewed Todd for Talkhouse Magazine and Todd shared he loved it!

Gary also told him Eric recorded a cover of “Can We Still Be Friends” which got some attention and college radio play.

So that’s what’s going on.  

And now to get ready for tonight!

Happy Gotcha Day!













Morning! Today is Jasper’s Gotcha Day.  It’s been an incredible year.  We call him Pinocchio, it’s like having a toddler all over again, and Gary and I confirmed that we are happiest when we are parenting.

Retirement continues to be the greatest thing we’ve ever done.  I mean, c’mon, we wake up and then we spend the day relaxing.  The Republicans better not fuck this up! 😎
