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?!

Sharing the ceremony

Note - this is a very long post...it took 25 minutes to actually read aloud, but since some of you might be interested I'm posting it. The Transcript of the Official Wedding Ceremony of Poor George and Coaster Punchman I’d like to welcome everyone to this beautiful setting today to witness and celebrate the marriage of two spectacular people, Poor George and Coaster Punchman. Some of you know me and to others I’m a new face – my name is Melinda June, and I’m a close friend of the happy couple. I’m incredibly honored and a little overwhelmed that they’ve asked me to perform this ceremony. And I apologize in advance that I’m going to read this whole thing…it’s very important to me that I get this right, and since we couldn’t get a teleprompter this is the only recourse. As is obvious by the number of you gathered here today, I’m not the only person in this world who adores these two men.Therefore, when they asked me to prepare the ceremony and vows, I decided to enlist the help of th...

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...

Empathize this

I've got two things on my mind today. First off, I really like Sonja Sotomayor. And I especially like that when discussing his selection criteria for Justice Souter's replacement, President Obama brought up empathy. Empathy is not the same thing as sympathy, compassion or emotion. Empathy is perspective. The idea that our laws have strict, specific definitions that should be considered without perspective is ridiculous. Laws mean something, but they must also be considered in context. That isn't to say they should be applied arbitrarily, or to advocate making exceptions left and right to suit a judge's whim...suggesting laws should be considered in context simply means that the courts must consider how our laws should be interpreted, and how they can make our society a better, more habitable, more functional one. How they can help Americans live their lives without impediment to their personal liberties. Empathy provides the perspective necessary to do this. Judge So...
