Poor woman. Musta been the tattoo pics that started him up. To be honest,
they almost started me up.
She's a good kid.
So...what did YOU do in the 1993 flood, Bacon? No problems? I remember
they were all waiting for St Louie to be overrun with rising water.
They built a bridge, the story was on PBS, you might have seen it, I think
it was near St Louis. When they built the caissons, they found mammoth
bones in the river bed. I love fossils and stuff like that.

Thank Brian, now you got me blushing. In my opinion I'm average at
best... Some people are offended by my Tattoo's but they don't even
say anything, you can just see it in their faces, mostly Seniors.
Other's think it's braille and want to touch them, which can be
uncomfortable, some will just say "Nice Ink, where do you get them
done?" I love my ink, it's the only thing on me really that I am
satisfied with, the rest of me, well I've got issues with self image.
It's funny how people will judge other's i.e. I have multiple
Tattoo's, so people right away think I'm a biker ***** LOL, or belong
to a biker club. Other's think I'm heavy into partying, doing drugs,
fettish stuff. I think that's why I try not to judge people I am
constantly being judge for one thing or another. I say f'k em LOL!

I left St. Louis in July 1993 to go to work for Arthur Andersen in
Atlanta...I was living at my parents house at the time during graduate
school at Wash U. The day I left I remember was a weekday, only Mom
and I were at home and when we headed to the garage and hugged goodbye
she broke down...and its one of the few times I felt the emotional
tugs strong enough to make me scramble to the car and drive off before
I did too. She saw it in my face and looking back I'm glad she did. I
was off into the world and things were different (and she was stuck
now with only Dad, ha)...say what you will but I guess mama's boy
fits, we loved all the same things, cats and bacon pizza and cookie
dough batter and sleep and t.v. while Dad was out clearing the woods
with a weed eater and a leaf blower or whatever the f. he was doing
all the time.
But that was a month before the flooding, so I missed it. The
Chesterfiled Valley area that was devastated is now hugely succesful,
every store or restaurant you can think of sits out on that wide open
flood plane, along with kids softball and soccer fields as far as you
can see --
From a 2003 article in the STLBJ:
"In the decade since the Flood of '93 destroyed much of the valley,
the area's business community has stormed back with a vengeance.
In just 10 years, new investment has topped $400 million. The boom has
been led by the area's massive new centerpiece: Chesterfield Commons.
Billed as America's largest strip mall, the 1.3 million-square-foot
Commons has become the St. Louis region's primary Mecca for big-box
retail.
Like a pied piper, the shopping center has led others - a carpet
company, a natural foods producer and a Bentley car dealer, to name a
few - to the 4,700-acre flood plain.
In response, the valley's once depressed property values have
skyrocketed, and property is now worth five times as much as in 1994."

Nothing wrong with that. It's beyond my understanding, a real

had one, I wouldn't be so much, ya know....whatever I am.

That i can relate to. I'm the weed eater type. But your father was
an educated professional of some type, so it must have been a hobby
type thing... That's cool, I coulda joined in that. But Bill, Bob's
late partner, was close to his mother whom he lived with at the old
farm (which became my house) since he was born in 1917. But he
developed her characteristics also, like something that would make a
good novel. The father was out back farming, and Bill just wasn't the
type. He could name every wildflower, but he wasn't a shoveling type
of guy. I was. and Bob was. I guess someone had to stay inside and
turn our work into his art: New England Poetry. Friend of Robert
Frost, and all.

That's strange. After the flood, they said they were going to open up
the flood plane and let the river do it's thing, and they'd move
residents to higher ground... What did they do to protect against the
next flood in Chesterfield Valley?

Huh. Clinton, hugging a flooded resident, front page of the
NYTimes...Best picture of him ever, and I cried thinking, "wow. This
is what the president's job is....comfort the afflicted." For 10
minutes after 9/11 I felt a similar way about Bush. For the past 4
years, that has gone away, and I'm numb to anything he tries to say or

I studied the Civil War. The siege of Vicksburg, Grant was some

just a brilliant politician and orator, a little of both maybe. But I
could watch him and think that's how a President of a country should
look and sound, genuine, informed and likeable...slick Willy.
Bush is some strange twighlight zone thing going on now, everyone in
the world knows he's a complete buffoon, so why not just move
on...hell he should have the ethical makeup and character to just
remove himself...it would be a respectful end to this era.

I agree. I sooo wish there was a way to end his presidency now rather than
later. He is easily the worst president ever. Well, at least in my
lifetime. I sure wish someone would find grounds to impeach him.

Hey Brian, when you come visit us in Montreal, I'm going to take you on a picnic
on Ile Bizard. There are fossil remains all over the place from when Lake
Champlain was the Champlain Sea.
We'll pack a big lunch, and sit around in the sun drinking fizzy lemonade, and
you can play your guitar, and we'll go fossil hunting. I can guarantee you'll
find fossilized shells and coral, and if we look very carefully, we might find
some fossilized vegetation (not purple, though, sorry, PV).
Is it a date?

Jane, how far are you from Fort Lauderdale?
Hubby & I come back through there from our Panama Canal cruise in November.
After Royal Caribbean tells us when they've booked our flight, I'll let you know
if they've left a couple of hours where we can hang out together.
If it can't happen this cruise, I know we can make other opportunities.

Okay girlfriend, as soon as I know what kind of schedule they've given us, I
will get back to you. So much depends on the return flight, I asked Royal
Caribbean to book it so I have no idea when we get to fly back to Montreal or
even what time we'll get to disembark.
Did you know when we went to Hawaii we got to meet John? You know, Maia's dad?
He's such a lovely guy. He gave us a guided tour around Oahu, and treated us to
dinner with his wife & Maia. I have lots of wonderful memories of that cruise,
but John & Maia are the absolute tops.
Anyway, no matter what happens in November, you & I are going to get together
one of these days. Maybe in Miami, maybe in Fort Lauderdale. Maybe even in
Montreal. BUT WE ARE GOING TO GET TOGETHER.

Absolutely Chris and I want to make a trip up to New York this summer
sometime as well. He's from there originally so we were gonna make the trip
just so i can say I've been there :o) So it's not so far fetched that maybe
we'll catch up up there was well!

Hey Brian, when you come visit us in Montreal, I'm going to take you on a picnic
on Ile Bizard. There are fossil remains all over the place from when Lake
Champlain was the Champlain Sea.
We'll pack a big lunch, and sit around in the sun drinking fizzy lemonade, and
you can play your guitar, and we'll go fossil hunting. I can guarantee you'll
find fossilized shells and coral, and if we look very carefully, we might find
some fossilized vegetation (not purple, though, sorry, PV).
Is it a date?
Oh, absolutely. That sounds so cool....There is a dinosaur state park
in Rocky Hill, connecticut, I've never been. Tracks, apparently. But
I want to fossil hunt, mindblowing to see a 250 million year old
trylobite in a stone.
Someday, because if I am ever single again (long live bob, really) I
am doing to hop in the truck and spend 1000$ on gas, and see North
America.
Thanks Tara.

Oh, thank you. Bob doesn't travel anymore, so if I survive him, I'll
take my trip. He's outlived a lot of people, and I just want him to
have at least those 5 years I begged for last year. Getting frail.
And scared to be away from the house now. Yesterday, my mother told
me she paid taxes in our hometown last year, so they sent her 2 beach
stickers, one I will have. I told Bob last evening, and he said, "Oh,
I don't want to go that far, at least here if I have a spell, I can
recover...." He's pragmatic. But thanks for the offer. Canada is on
my list. I'd like to see that Hudson Bay, it's huge, seems weird to
have a sea right in the middle of a Province. And Toronto and Quebec
City (? is that a place?), I can't believe they speak French a few
hundred miles from me.

You know how the US stretches "from sea to shining sea"? Canadians say "from sea
to sea to sea".
My son went on a canoe trip one summer, up the Missinaibi river from Northern
Ontario toward James Bay. They travelled for a month and still didn't reach the
sea. Even if they had managed to get to James Bay, it would have take a couple
more weeks of paddlingto get to Hudson Bay. That is one VAST country.
You don't need to come to Quebec to hear folks speaking French, either. There
are francophones throughout New England, upstate New York, Vermont, New
Hampshire, Maine. The history of this region makes for some fun reading.
Gotta get you & Jane here at the same time, I did a bit of research into her
Quebec ancestor, and it would be fun to travel around southern Quebec checking
out those findings. Gayle should come too, we'll visit some graveyards.
