pics & clips from a geezer with a camera
Major John, 71, is a retired law enforcement officer who keeps close watch on our neighborhood.
He demands protection money each time he sees me, but relents when I explain how I’m struggling to put food on the table while trying to convince Hollywood I’m the next Martin Scorsese.
I recorded this recent impromptu conversation with Major John outdoors on a cell phone. I apologize in advance for the random street noise that renders some of the audio a bit problematic.

Poem about a cat named Spot. Spot, who had no spots, lived aboard the USS Enterprise in the 2360s.

Marcel Proust’s famous tea & madeleine excerpt from Volume I of his À la recherche du temps perdu suggests that remembering the dead can bring them back to life. Their souls are imprisoned in material objects, earthbound until we set them free.
Remembering is thus a sacred obligation, and forgetting, I might add, can be tantamount to an act of murder.
