Great moments in my history

And they're not even made out of curtains.

I had shorts to match.

Who cares about the flower-print outfit, tell us about the fish. That's a pair of nice walleyes. Were they caught in the Rainy River/Lake of the Woods area or is this Lake Vermillion? Did you catch them? On what? The Melinda June blog needs more hook and bullet pictures and stories, and let's hope this is just the start!

I had an outfit like this, but I ripped the pants at work last month...

I swear we had the same wardrobe and it's kinda freaking me out.

Again, I would have to say I would wear this today. The outfits just aren't that hideous. And you have the cutest face too!

BAP: the Red Carpet Lodge outside of Baudette, guarantee they are Bob's and I'm merely eye-candy, and who knows...worms? I'll get right on that hook and bullet business.

Doug, I always knew you had good taste. What did Pat Benetar think of your outfit?

T, perhaps we are the same person?

Get one like it and take a picture, Tanya. I dare you!

This outfit stands out from the rest- it has a certain Marimekko quality to the design- I give it high marks! Personally, I would have lost the windbreaker but parents being what they are, I'm sure they made you keep it on.

Was it sleeveless? Now that would be fetching with a pair of little black china flats and a bit shorter hem on the pants, more gaucho.

LOVE the hair- very now, very then, very sleek.

By the way...would you please play with Doug. He's never going to stop until you mess up his blog with lots of goofy comments.

And Doug- I'm just trying to help because I love you.

MJ,

Thanks for the nfo on Baudette. I'm more of a Warroad guy, but what the hey.

You should write a post shaming T.C. for not getting a blogger account and commenting on your posts. The dumbass should be able to figure it out, don't you think?

I think I had that outfit, too — but in blue. You wore yours better, I think.

I love seeing the Twins cap. I was always told that Mindy was a Cubs fan, but she is more of a Minnesotan than she lets on.

Who knew so many of you ladies would rate the outfit highly??? Beth, I think Blue's more your color. You should have had my windbreaker.

Seems TC beat me to it, BAP. Hi Gomer. And I'll point out that hat is on my brother, not me. It's likely we stopped at a game on the way north and therefore the hat is new. Kids love new things.

Melinda June! Just to prove my love to you, look what I had made.

The inimitable Sans Pantaloons did it for me.

If you had all those clothes now you could sell them for a fortune. Or at least give them to the Smithsonian! Funky.

Melinda June, I know! Isn't it a riot?!

Christmas memories, vol. 20

It's that time of year again. Time for you to learn more about how I ended up this way, how I've spent my Christmases lo, these last forty-odd years. This year I expect we'll have some sad ones - it's my first year with both my parents gone, and it's bound to make me kind of melancholy. Heck, I just started crying by the flatbread at Whole Foods because I used to buy it and bring it to my mom as a treat. But the thing is, the reason I miss my folks so much is because my life is filled with happy memories. They were people worth missing. I'm sitting in public right now, so I think we'll start off with something kind of innocuous. Public tearing-up garners worried glances, and I don't want to stress out that nice man at the next table who's selling Comcast subscriptions to unsuspecting callers who think he's in an office somewhere. (SECOND time I've see one of these guys out in a public place - last time it was in the waiting room at the tir...

Wales

Just arrived back from Wales. It was perfect weather. Sunny, blue, and relatively warm. I'd hoped to leave work early since we had a five hour drive ahead of us, but that went to hell by midday. Instead I left at 445, and managed to get myself home and packed by about 515. We stopped at the BP near the A5 to fill up the tank. Fortune was smiling upon us, and as we walked in to look for a flashlight and pay we were serenaded by The Smiths singing "There is A Light That Never Goes Out" , which is always a bit of serendipity, because it's just not that often you're going to hear that over the loudspeakers. All in all, we made good time. Around 930 we were hungry and I was skeptical that we would make it anywhere sane to eat before kitchens closed so I forced us to eat at a Burger King at the services. Bad decision. Not tasty, and gas-inducing - not a good thing with The Visitor. We made another stop at an ASDA near Swansea. We bought: A twelve pack of Tetley's Bi...

Ways other than Paul Blart and lipstick to combat economic depression

They say that, when the economy tanks and you can't see any way through your pile of bills and are wondering who you'll look wearing one of those barrels with shoulder straps, women buy lipstick and everyone goes to upbeat, escapist movies to take their minds off their troubles. But I'm here to tell you that any lipstick worth having is nigh 'bout $20 or more and you'll just end up regretting it, and Hollywood has not caught up with the times yet. Plus, it's Oscar season, so once you've seen Slumdog Millionaire your choices are sexy Nazis seducing children, attractive suburbanites mourning the death of their dreams, and nuns and priests talking about child abuse. (That said, I hear Gran Torino is a good diversion with a message, and if you don't hate Brad Pitt as much as I do you could probably sit through that Owen Meany movie where he ages like he's from Ork .) And while I'm as big a Kevin James fan as the next person, you can't ask him...
