Day 3587 - Hooray For Hollywood Hoover High School 1973-1974 - 03.17.21

A few weeks ago I spent a bunch of time looking for this record.  The reason being that I had digitized it years ago, but I never broke out the tracks and labeled them.  I was going though old files and wanted to do that work, but I needed to find the record, but for the life of me I couldn't find it.  The tough part was know where on my shelves I would have filed a high school record. Well today while not even looking for it, I came across it in a box with some other high school records. They were with some international folk records and college marching band records.  I was very happy to find the record and break out the tracks.  Hearing that there was a version of the Monster Mash on the record made me so happy.  I had forgotten that, but that was the main reason I digitized it oh so many years ago.  Now I think it will be making an appearance on this year's Halloween Mix.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3584 - Family Visit - 03.14.21

My son came by for a visit this morning.  This is him, my wife and mom visiting. On the table you can see some shot glasses.  Today was the last day they were whole, because shortly after this photo they were broken.  It was a very sad day because they have been part of my life since I was a little boy.  My grandmother used to give me lunch and something to drink in those glasses.  On glass was mostly just cracks and lost a little glass. The other was pretty shattered.  I spent several hours trying to piece it back together.  I got about 75% there.  It is like a 3D jigsaw puzzle.  I felt sick the whole rest of the day because of the accident.  At least I have this photo with them in tact.  This is is something I saw today.
