autumnal equinox eve

had dinner/lunch with dennis on his way to ethiopia

gave him a detroit tigers ball cap and a 1 gig ipod shuffle with tunes from this itunes library.

talked (and recorded) for two hours. the great adventure begins. 3 months on 1 month off (the continent of africa) need to link him up with frank finn, vicki hendrix kloosterhouse, and maybe even christian u from M1-DTW (richard's nephew)

Another Wedding at Martha Mary chapel

Joe Paul and Jenny Williams got married today (9/12/2010) Shot some video for the service.

I will transfer to computer and make a DVD for them upon their return from Hawaiian Honeymoon.

Inspiring. began re reading some classic 1980 - 1990 comix. Adrian Tomine, Chester Brown.
Ed the Happy Clown, whew. Living with Cynthia is proving to be far more challenging than first envisioned, nearly thirty years ago. It's her family really. stubborn, tenacious, insane, old, drunk, stoned. All things she is not or ever has or will be. As the audio engineer used to shot from the control room "ride it out!"
