Here my mother tells of a car that her brother bought for their mother, when my mother was a small child.

Dakota, 1 week later
Dakota has been here a week now. She has filled out (no more ribs showing), and has improved literally by leaps and bounds in her comfort level. She has no idea she is tiny and will attack both of the huge dogs (I think it's play-fighting -- I'm sure the big dogs are laughing at her).

Grandpa and the Hooker
I'm trying to get my mother to tell "stories" from her childhood, my childhood, and other stories that I remember. I've started a new blog specifically for my mother's stories and have moved all the previous videos to that site.
This story is one I'd never heard before!

Picnic 1987
This probably won't be interesting to anybody but family, but I came across this "family picnic" video and thought I'd post it for them.

Queer Youth Awareness
There was a gathering of gay, lesbian, bigendered and transgendered students in Sacramento today. They marched to the capitol, held a rally, and then met with legislators to discuss passage of bills which will ensure that all students in California can get an education, free from fear of attack, verbal or physical.
Adults acted as chaperones, forming a barrier between the kids and the hate-mongering protestors who lined the route of the march.
This video presents a taste of what the day was like.

Cantakerous Dakota
You'd think the poor puppy was being beaten up...until you realize that she's usually the instigator.

Dakota
Somebody found Dakota wandering around on the street and brought her to the SPCA, so she's now living here for awhile.

This is Flickr's quarterly "Day in the Life Of," where we record the day in photos. I did it in photos and in video.

Organ Concert
This is a VERY short (less than 30 seconds) clip taken at the First Congregational Church of Berkeley yesterday, as the orchestra was setting up for an organ concert featuring my friend Paul Fleckenstein.

Let the Sunshine
My journal entry for March 19 is going to talk about Richard Brunelle, the 30+ year music teacher for Davis High School. This video is the finale of the 1988 Pops Concert. The Pops Concert was a yearly event, always a sell-out. This may not have been the best, but I liked the way it showcases how the kids feel about Dick. David and Tom were in the Jazz Choir this year.

Martin and Lana
We have new puppies, older ones this time. I think they will only be here a few days.

Dog Washing, 1987
Ned decided to wash both dogs. Just a bit of nostalgia--the dogs have been dead for a long time now.

Westwood Park
In 1987, my son was counselor at a summer camp here in town. He and his group made a somewhat unorthodox video about what life was like in the program.

It's all in your perspective
Sometimes I think that recovery from a catastrophic illness is at least in great part due to your mental state.

Luna Snippet
This isn't much of a video, but for those who remember Luna (then called "Annie") and her siblings, here's a brief video I took of Luna today.

Springtime!
It was 105 where Peggy lives in Western Australia yesterday, so I feel almost guilty posting this very brief video about spring in California, but what the heck...enjoy.

Reunion
After nearly 2 months, my mother is finally reunited with her best friend, who was the inadvertent reason for my mother's broken ankle in the first place!

Interview
We went to see "Man of La Mancha" last night; two weeks ago, I interviewed the director of the show and while I didn't videotape the interview, I did video my problems getting there, and a brief taste of the show itself.

Life Cycle
When I first moved into my mother's house, the doves were just starting to build a nest in the hanging basket on her front porch; when I left, the babies that were conceived and hatched had just left the nest. This is the first time I was there to see it all.

Fine China
My mother has a set of China that belonged to my godmother, who acquired them for her wedding (pre-World War I). There was an interesting story about them, which I filmed her telling.
