to us ! it's been a year and 3 days since the first post. i've learned a lot in that year,the most recent example being not to trust google calender to remind me of certain dates . anyway , it's been an interesting year . i've now reached the age that i had never thought i would reach . so there's that...no major life changing events ,with one exception that i will discuss in a few days.
as i look back over the archives , i can see a shift in focus ...not away from the "old 27 gang "concept , but in the writing . or more precisely, the lack there-of . i had originally thought that all these stories were going to pour out , but it's a bit more difficult than that...when ones muse decides to take a vacation , and shows no sign of returning anytime soon , all i can say is thank god for a massive collection of family photo's . at least they provide me with inspiration , even if it's just a smart ass caption or three.
i would like to thank the four or five people who read this for providing some positive feedback to this effort . and i would also like to thank the grown-ups who shaped and molded us . and without who there would have been no "old 27 gang" to remember...

Has it really been a year? Wow! Thanks for putting the effort into this blog. It really has been fun for me looking at all this and reminiscing. I know for You Steve it's a labor of love, as you say, but it sure has been cool for all of us. Thanks again, groovy, shagadelic baby!
Hey I know I gave ya a few stories albeit as lame as hell, that weren't published. Such as the italian 10 speed bike I wiped out on right there on old 27 when the quick release hubs came off. The pets story the other day, and the pee bucket story....Ok maybe not too thrilled with publishing that one but whatever. And I never got any Jewish lawyers to go after you for using my image either...hahahaha
Oh yeah, and a story about how me & Tammys dad were standing in the yard next to the hedges hearing a snorting sound that terrified us, which later we found out was not some horrible animal, but the hose leading from the basment sump out to the yard. I've been censored by the media!!!
boy,somebody's bored tonight...i've got your stories in a folder on my hard drive.i just have to 'tweak" them a bit.i'll get them up.and you ain't even seen censored,buddy.
on the other hand,didn't you ask me not to use the pee bucket one?
Yes I did say not use that one. I've had to censor myself...If I gave ya the good stuff I'd be incriminating myself.
oh,i see...it's ok for me to post embarrassing things and pictures of myself,but anyone else? oh noooooooo...
Sometimes what happens in Clare......stays in Clare.....
hahahahahahahahahahaha...hey,rememberthe one i did about tales from the darkside,clare mi edition?
No I don't remember. I must've seen it but I can't think of it.
a shot of the big trees looking south from grammas driveway.in negative...looked just like it...
Hahahaha.
Hey I remember use talking about some of the things up there at gramma's like in the closet. Well I remember there was a OUIJA (sp?) board along with the other games and puzzles etc. Don't know where that came from, but I can guess. That was a little spooky at the time. Fun fun!
the ouiga board was mine,got it in '67.and yeah,it was kinda spooky.why do you think i left it at grammas?
Hahaha! I knew it. (was yours) left it so it would scare the crap outta your little cousin eh? I think after we fooled around with it a few times in the living room there, one of the folks got rid of it or something. not sure. Well between Dark Shadows (& Lawrence Welk) Smokin in the park or far side of the garage, Playboys in the basement and ouiga boards,makin vampire and werewolf home movies, you were a radical little guy now weren't you!
radical? little? of whom are you speaking ,sir?
Well OK not so little. I'll stick with radical, or should we say creative, You were a stocky, strong fellow, I was actually the littliest. I figured if we chatted here enough perhaps other gang members would join in, but noooo, their too good for us. Hey Tom, by the way Petey and Chuck called from the old helecopter series, they want their hat back!
you mean his whirlybird hat? hahahahahahahahahaha...
yeah,i guess i know who shows up the most,besides me. thats okay,they'll get here eventually
:-)
Very clever punctuation at the end there:-) I would like to know if any further developments for this blog are in the works. Home movies, music, etc. I think I shall make a dvd of myself walking the ghettos of Lansing with a whirly bird cap making rude comments to all who dare stare at my new found trendy attire. Perhaps even stoppng at a few pubs along the way.
On second thought I shall consult the ouiga board first before such a daring endeavor.
what,you don't like the sideways smilely?i'm hurt,really really...ah,nevermind.
am still working on a few things,like the 78's that tom recorded and sent to me.need to find a good mp3 player that can be programmed with those songs.as far as home movies,they will need to be digitised.thats something for tom and nathen to work on.nathen has a youtube account,and once movies are digitised they can be up;oaded to youtube,and then played on the player i put in the blog
ah hell,just go for it big guy!like wierd al says "dare to be stupid !"
Mr. T says: By the way, I didn't see these questionable comments until just now as I have been busy with baseball games and delivering ancient treasures to a certain brother who thought he was Tarzan sitting in a mud puddle, beating his chest and doing the Tarzan yell in front half a dozen kids for entertainment, and smearing mud all over his clothed body, before his mom came and got him and put him in the bath. How old were you then? Thirty?
Anyway, funny stuff. As the memory fades, so does the story writing I guess. Now we have to think up an embarrassing story on Steve.
oh my,another country heard from ! any embarrassing stories on steve will pobably have to come from steve,seeing as how he is the oldest,after all.i seem to recall several embarrassings pictures of steve have been published here so it all evens out...but i have more pictures...and you're in a lot of them bub.just sayin'...
Hey Guys!! Guess I will just have to jog this memory of mine and dredge up a few funny/embarrassing stories about my bro. And me being such a quiet, obedient,respectful angel child there can not possibly be any stories about me. RIGHT Steve?
absolutly correct my dear...heh heh heh.
Uh oh! You are evil!
nah,not evil.i have been pacing myself...
