It seems fitting that Fidel Castro has resigned on what would have been my father's 66th birthday. Dad told me that he was in the air force during the Cuban missile crisis but what he did exactly, he would never say. My father died of lung cancer in 2001.
As for a post about Castro, I couldn't possibly do a more clever post than Lauren.
I have been meaning to link to this blog for a while.
This is one of my favorite internet haunts.
Shorpy the 100 Year Old Photoblog, features old photos from the Library of Congress and accepts contributions from readers. So if you have any old photos in your attic feel free to contribute. The blog is one year old today.
After untold frustrations which nearly sent me screaming from my studio apartment and diving off of the Coney Island Pier, I am proud to announce the launch of my photoblog: lornagrlphotos.com.
Please take a gander.
I wasn't feeling very well when I woke up this morning so I didn't go to work, but later in the day I decided to take a walk to on the boardwalk and head to the Coney Island post office to pick a package. I noticed this feathered lady standing in front of the SHOOT THE FREAK attraction. Two other people were near her with digital cameras and she was begging us all to take her photo. When I asked what the occasion was she wouldn't answer, just insisted we take her photo. She had a British accent.
This can only happen when you live near Coney Island.
Today I was taking some vitamin supplements in the office and a co-worker came over to ask me a question. Without thinking I swallowed two horse pill sized vitamins at the same time and one of them got lodged in my throat. I was still able to breathe but it wasn't budging.
It was one of the most uncomfortable sensations I have ever experienced.
I had to ask the co-worker if I could speak to her later while I tried to regurgitate this pill. I drank a bottle of water hoping that the pill would go down but it wouldn't. I got up to go to the rest room to stick my finger down my throat...nothing.
So I went back to my desk and googled "pill stuck in throat" and found a website that suggested one to eat a banana should they find themselves in such a predicament. It worked but I had to eat two of them.
What an ordeal.
