Usher in Squares

It reminds me of a rainforest - Like the rain Forest cafe where I used to eat. I ordered chicken over there. I heard the sounds over there, too.
-Did you go there for your birthday?
No; I went to Old Country Buffet.
-Did you have a nice birthday?
Yes, I did. I celebrated with Alicia and Jenna.

Psychedelic Earthquake

Up in Paso Robles in a thrift store in LA they had an earthquake; also Earthquake Sensaround with Charlton Heston and Ava Gardner. She played his wife who was always jealous because he was having an affair with a widow.
-Lots of drama!
Yes- The house shook when she took too many sleeping pills and the husband called the doctor.
-Did the sensaround work?
You could feel underneath the seats in the theater.

Sun of Strauss

Now what?
Richard Strauss wrote Ode to the Sun, also known as Sprach Zarathustra. Luke can't remember if he has seen 2001: A Space Odyssey, but we found out the music from it is based on this piece by Strauss.
"He was thinking really hard about it... in the morning. He loved composing it. He played it in the symphony orchestra."

Joe's work

Monument to Luke

"I'll have it while I'm still living." -Luke

Luke has included most of his interests in the base of this monument to himself. (A special shout out to Becky for suggesting the 'Joanie as angel' idea.)

"People could come around and look at it. It has all the different composers, girls wrestlers, cheese, bones, books..."

What kind of books?

"anatomy books"

JK and Wife

She was a good mother.

Storm in Palatine on June 23

It looks nice and the fish are swimming and I am watching them swim. Jesus is having a nice time playing the kettle and making the thunder.
