    Well, actually it was fifty years ago last week, but Labor Day weekend is a good time to get the whole gang together to celebrate my parents' golden wedding anniversary. We don't all get together often, but an occasion like this one doesn't happen often...

    Click on the pic for a truly stomach-roiling, disgusting experience..... I particularly like the gorgeous yellow-green color---and the swelling, too. Just the thing to make my sense of the aesthetic roll over and play dead. Will I ever get my normal bony...
