David geeking out at the Apple Store at King of Prussia, PA. I was randomly searching for a photo that would go with this post, and picked this one. Then I looked at the date on the photo: March 19, 2005. I took this photo two years ago, to the day. How bizarre.

Click on the picture for the answer. Thanks to blynaffit for letting me use her picture.

Things suddenly got very busy at the House of Fielding, so I’m posting one of David’s photos from his collection of Personal Favourites. (Ahem, that would be Favorites.)
Because Toronto’s starting to feel winterish, although I haven’t seen snow yet! I think Vancouver and Toronto have swapped winters this [...]

Journal 10/1 (1984)
It’s Monday again. I demand a recount! There was supposed to be a vote on whether or not to accept this Monday. I don’t. I personally refute the existence of this day. We’re on special schedule for something, but – wait – election of officers, I think. Mr. Steele, why are you handing [...]

OK, I can’t remember the last time I carried on a meme, but since this was in an email, I actually answered it and replied.
I am…

SpongeBob Squarepants?
I’m puzzled because I haven’t seen the cartoon. But I guess if my image were made into a gigantic inflatable and floated over thousands upon thousands of people, it [...]

One of David’s best days during his illness was September 10, 2005, when he had enough strength to attend a model airplane fly-in and airshow in Waymart, a visit to nearby St. Tikhon’s Monastery in South Canaan, and tuck into the barbecue at Kundla’s Open Pit BBQ.

These photos serve to prove how widespread perms were in the ’80s. A global follicle scourge, if you ask me.
By the time this photo was taken — probably Spring ‘85 ‘84. David’s had grown out, but you can see it better in the earlier photo below.

From the journal writing assignment:

I feel much better [...]

Not just because of the torrential rains of today, but because of the news of a private plane crashing into a Manhattan building.
Until Gigi’s Papa arrived home this evening and told me about it, I had no idea why my website was getting so many hits with the keywords “VFR corridor” and “New York VFR [...]

David and I climb bumpily to our record altitude of 11,600 feet in the Tri-Pacer. This was the only time I ever sat in the back and was it ever turbulent! The winds were fierce!
May 1, 2005: Up, Up, and Away
A few days later, David reluctantly put me on a plane in Philadelphia [...]

Photos from the trip to Philadelphia, PA / Camden, NJ being uploaded slowly but surely. The photoset thus far:
Philly Visit - Sep 14-16
There were a couple of things I wanted to do while I was down in Philadelphia, and one of them was to visit the Italian Market where David took some of his shots [...]
