In 1989 I had 2 tickets to the Paul McCartney show - in Detroit. My late great friend Marty Bass and I drove to Detroit. Little did we know that we had 2nd row dead center seats. Heck neither of us really looked at the tickets, we were just happy to have them. We just happened to sneak in a camera too. This is one of the up close shots. When we left the show we drove to Marty's Mom's house for the night in East Lansing in a blizzard. Marty was a whee bit toasted so I drove...Until he passed away, whenever we talked about this event we'd refer to it as the white knuckler trip...because my knuckles were white from clutching the wheel and keeping his van on the road.
something from the archives... my computer is currently busy busy... transferring and backing up data... from one disk to another... so while i wait to do some current work... i will put up a couple of pix from november 2001...
my oldest son has the camera, and asks us to pose...
i have no idea what the significance of this photo is other than to showcase that awesome living room set and stunning drapes.
I believe at Old McDonald's Farm...Sweet Ward Cleaver low nick sweater and the beginnings of the Battle of the Balge Bulg.

One day you are going to the park with your dad, the next you're in school, then college, then have a job, then possibly a family of your own and repeat. This is what you get when your forget to that you are on manual focus. I like to call it a good accident.
Joey loves, I mean LOVES condiments. Ketchup, Mustard, BBQ sauce, A1 sauce. You name it, he loves it
WOW NOW I'M AN ESTEEMED ARTIST. PUT THIS UP IN A MUSEUM. jk
sleep over with my two best friends, Ben & Aja back in highschool. hijinx.
This punt was clutch cargo, baby! The coverage was clutch cargo as well. This punt + the coverage put Martin Luther back on their 35 with no return...The punt as they say in the football world "turned over". For those of you not familiar, it's the ultimate in punts. The ball leaves the foot like a pass, a perfect spiral and when it peaks in flight the front end of the ball starts heading downward at the same angle it rose...A punt like this usually overshoots the return team. This one did by about 10 yards. The punt landed around their 40 bouncing nearly straight up. It was recovered at their 35 just as a pack of Wildcats crushed the returner's sorry butt. Yes, I was a few yards behind our goal line when I punted...you may need a calculator to figure out the yardage. I can't remember what I had for dinner last night but I remember this like it's happening right now...Probably my favorite punt of my HS school football career and lucky for us my brother John or Dad just happened to be there to capture the photo op.
Look at that sky and look at that hole. Looks like a punt return because of the "wall" set up on the left, as pointed out by Jay Wigdale...It also looks like we knew what we were doing...It was the ultimate of football Saturdays when this game was played - back when HS football still played on Saturdays...weatherwise - a great day for players - not so much for fans. BTW is this not a great shot of Pieter Godfrey Old #62 as he works on his belly flop for swim season. #75 is Mike Young, the player looking like he's about to sit down is George King, he's now Doctor George King. #72 is Peter "Griz" Coburn who later went on to play a bit for Northwestern. #52 is Mark Bergan who has gone on to be a marketing professor in Minnesota...I'm the guy with the ball running for my life.
