Drinking beer while watching (supervising) the wife while she paints the house. When she's done, we'll drop off the Element to get exhaust work done tomorrow. Then heading to a friends to drink more beer.

:cheers:

Me too. One of my all time favorites. Both Sellers and Kubrick were absolute geniuses. So many other brilliant actors of the day too. A young James Earl Jones, Slim Pickens, Sterling Hayden, George C. Scott. All masters of the art. Luckily for Slim Pickens, Sellers could not deliver a convincible "Southern Accent", so Kubrick got on the phone to the union to ask for the first actor they could get to England for filming. Pickens was free at the time, and was able to grab the role as Major "King" Kong.

Now that I can look at this photo on my computer, is that the Molokini Crater in the upper right of the photo? I've been snorkeling there.

This was a friend that I made.

This is where we got married. You can see Molokai in the background.

Interesting, as "Slim" (Louis Lindley) was born in Kingsburg, California and attended high school in Hanford, just a few towns over from where I grew up in the Central Valley. Since one of Mom's great hobbies was horseback riding, she seems to know everyone from the area.

Larry Bastian lives about 20 minutes from Mom and Dad and he happened to write the song "Rodeo" which was a huge hit for Garth Brooks.

Although I was born in Wilmington, California, we moved to the sleepy farm town of McFarland in 1972, as part of my parent's efforts for me to grow up away from the hustle and bustle of the Los Angeles music scene that my Mom had grown so weary of. Literally, just down the road, is a tiny town called "Pond, California." A young man named Dallas Frazier lived there and he use to watch the train go by, which never stopped at Pond. Dallas wrote a song titled "The Train Never Stops At Our Town," which put him on the map after Merle Haggard recorded it in 1967

Dallas is a songwriting machine!!!

My first dive was at Molokini. That's a great spot. I miss my sea turtle friends.
I remember the first time I went underwater, into that alternate ocean universe.

Well, it's not Friday anymore but there's still beer left.
