Comment on A Natural History of Tears by John Becker

Hi Terrie,
I enjoyed your article.. I had been thinking along the same lines as you and for the same reason.. RAIN RAIN RAIN… I began to think about the natural cleansing that takes place during the rain and how lovely it seems when it is all over.. the air is so fresh, the environment is envigorated and washed.. I then began to think about tears and how amazing it is that God gave us both things, Rain & Tears… to cleanse us and help us become fresh again… I’m going to speak about this at Toastmasters this Tuesday evening.. thanks for the encouraging words…

John

That was beautiful Terrie! Thank you for sharing. I too am a crier. Whenever I see ANYONE cry, I cry. Kind of like the shared yawn phenomenon. Maybe you can write up a piece trying to explain that!

wow, I frequently Larry’s bar in the 90’s and loved the quiet hole in the wall. I met great friends there and had many many memories of the pool games, the music and the patrons.
I loved talking with Bill, bartender at the time and the nicest guy in the world. And Mick always made me laugh.
I didn’t realize it closed. I will miss it.

Comment on Kazakh Eagle Hunters: Amazing Photos by Seb Schmoller

I’ve a terrific photo on my wall of a Kazakh returning with his eagle on horse-back across the steppe from (as I like to think) a wolf-hunting expedition. My mother’s family on my grandfather’s side hailed from those parts, or so she liked to tell us, so I’ve always felt a sentimental affinity with this part of the world.

Terrie, two years later I have better idea of what to bring car camping. After forgetting a bunch of things this weekend (earplugs, pillows, towel, headlamp, cooler), I wrote a new post, Car Camping Essentials to help jog my memory next time.

Thanks for this. We leave in two days for a camping trip with out Daughter for her Bday. Her and son-in-law are taking us somewhere new. I needed a new list and this is perfect. I would have forgotten the can opener.

Hi Terrie,

Joe Diamond was killed in a traffic accident this week when he turned left from Olentangy to King Avenue and was hit by a northbound car.

I first met Joe in the mid-70s when I took my shoes to be mended at his Son of a Cobbler shop. When my girlfriend Jessie and I broke up, she started going with Joe. He was her last boyfriend, to my knowledge, and became like a part of Jessie’s family. I visited with Joe a couple of times at Jessie’s. They were close until her death in 2005.

Jessie admired Joe’s kind heart and cool toughness. Once he was attacked after playing with his band at Dick’s Den. With the robber on top of him, Joe stabbed him in both sides. The robber ran away with nothing.

RIP Joe and Jessie — two more special people we’ll not see again.

I just woke up from a dream where I was passing through the Ohio State Campus on the Chicago El (It was a dream, ok?) and I was telling some folks new in town to make sure and go to Larry’s. Which woke me up. Now it’s six in the morning and I can’t stop thinking about Larry’s.

I worked there in the middle 80’s with Terrie, Andy, Paul, Mike Moulk, Ralph, Gary, Tim Costigan, and a bunch of others.

Does anyone remmember the guy with frizzy hair (and no shirt?) who would come in tripping his brains out and stair at the pictures on the wall?

I would totally love to have copies of some of the entries that Larry made in his little black book (there was a long one about weird craziness upstairs one night). Between Andy’s daytime bartending and Larry’s hands off style I saw a lot to admire.

Some memmories from those days:
cutting off my roomate Doug when He got too loud and obnoxious. He calmed down immediately and then loudly proclaimed how cool it was that I cut him off

getting summoned upstairs buy some friends of a tenant, who failed to make an appointment. The TV was blaring from inside the apartment, no one responded to our knocking. A feeling of dread swept through me as I went in. I saw her stretched out on the bed right beside the front door, bathed in the light of the TV. Then she woke up…

From the women’s bathroom:
“my mother made me a lesbian”
“If I give her some cloth will she make me one too?”
“I think the patterns in Simplicity”
“No, It’s in Vogue”

Beside the men’s room mirror (the John Macrody memorial mirror)was a graffiti that said “Warning! objects in mirror are closer than t
hey appear!”

Thank you for doing this Terrie

Comment on Egg Season Again! by Terrie

Terrie — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 05:04:13 +0000

Of course, I already have you guys in mind next time we see you!

We have six hens; we’ll probably be getting six eggs a day during the summer. The brown eggs are from the two Plymouth Rocks that are about 1 3/4 years old; the blue/green ones are from the four Americanas that are about 3/4 year old. I *think*…I guess Americanas can sometimes lay brown eggs, and it seems like we’re getting a high ratio of brown to blue. But those Plymouth Rocks are really steady layers.

Wow, this is my new fav pic. I too am marveling at the colors. Can I pre-order a mixed dozen?

Inquiring minds (aka Stephanie) would like to know how many chickens you have (that produce 3-4 eggs/day)?
