Vintage Stereo System
One of my childhood memories was visiting a friend who had a console stereo system, which to a young kid sounded great. No this is not the actual stereo system or the friend, sigh. But I thought it was a great looking console stereo.

GI Joe Footlocker
The box below with the label Stereo Equipment used to be my GI Joe Footlocker. Unfortunately I painted the box black and no longer have the innards but the box is still going strong and still holds my cords, plugs and electronic tools.

Crushes
A friend and I were talking about famous and not so famous girls/women we had crushes on over the years. My friend said I had unusual taste. He's right, I never got Pamela Anderson or any other number of famous women. So I put together a little picture of 4 women who at one time or another I had had a bit of a crush on and thought were pretty.
Three actresses and a news anchor. And no blondes. With three actresses who worked in Hollywood I can justify posting this in an L.A./SFV themed blog.

My Favorite Sign
This hangs on the outside of my home office door. After so many years of being interrupted at work I have reached the age where I can no longer tolerate being interrupted when I am working on a project. It has worked very well and my throat feels much better since I no longer have to growl (as much, I still do)
