Back in the day when I was skinny, had dark hair, a reddish beard.
Sometime in the late 1980's in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Gadfrey!
That's over 30 years ago!
Check out that computer and that monitor with green letters on a black screen.
Would it have been a Commodore 64?
I can't remember.
But I remember that cat.
Our beloved Chulapay (Mexican slang for Cutie Pie).
She loved the warmth from that lamp.
I was, as usual, into a vodka and water it appears.
What you can't see is my ashtray and pack of cigarettes.
Ah, those were the days.
I had lunch yesterday at the Pie Place with a couple of colleagues from my days in Phoenix television news.
After hearing many of the tales of our rollicking times, I said then and I say now as I look at the photo above, "How in hell did we survive to our present old age?"
It's a mystery.
