The 70s
I just realized it's been ages since I've posted a vintage photo. It's been quite a long time since I've even done any scanning, but I do still have a good number of great photos in the queue. The quality of this one is a bit dodgy, but it's too interesting not to share.
This takes us back to 1970. In it are, from left to right, my sister, my baby brother, my cousin, and me. I honestly don't remember ever watching TV while holding a rifle, but those were strange times. Nixon was president.
In the background you can see a set of encyclopedias, which were a major source of entertainment for me back in those google-less days. Over on the left side of the image, you can also see the radiator, which is the most awesome kind of heat. I'm pretty sure this photo was taken right around Thanksgiving, putting it in late November, which in western New York means that there was probably snow on the ground outside. And yet I've got no sleeves or shoes on. That is the power of the radiator. There's no draft -- just heat (if this seems like a strange thing to comment on, consider that I now live in the South, where there's nothing but forced air heat -- brrrr!). Also, dig my sister's head gear. Solid.

Humpday Links
I was so busy this past week, with guests and taxes, and then amending my taxes... blah... that I never finished putting up some Friday links. And then the links I had been collecting seemed a little trite after what happened in Boston (btw, if you lost your phone, could you call anyone?). When I finally had a chance to get my rss feed caught up, I was a little bored by some of the food blogs I usually read -- it seems as though some bloggers out there might be in a bit of a rut, perhaps? Fortunately, there's a new player on the scene...
Have I mentioned that Thug Kitchen is my favorite new food blog? I'm not alone (more here).
