Indeed, more my speed and its Carol Doda, to boot! This must be an early picture because The Condor Club in the background doesn't seem to have the infamous lighted (strategically) depiction of Carol; also, Carol looks in the picture to be somewhat less 'pneumatic' than she appears in later pictures...

A big thanks to all of you for the well-wishes.

Another orbit of the sun done and another begun. I had a bit of start a week or so ago; it seems one of the ladies I was involved with a ways back (not officially an 'ex', but close) has written a memoir about her life; I was first apprehensive she might mention me and then apprehensive, if she did, what she might say; I managed to get a hold of a copy of her book and, to my relief, she only covers the period of her life up to the end of the 70s, well before I knew her; it was a big relief and, hopefully, there might not be a sequel. Bullet dodged unless she decides to reload...

To quote the great philosopher, Roger Murtaugh, "I'm getting too old for this..."...

Thank again to you all, and I hope you all also have a good Holidays and a most Happy New Year...

When I learned from my mother that my first serious girlfriend was "writing a novel" (she still used to occasionally visit the old lady) and that it was set in the area of our home town where we two spent our most lovey-dovey-nesses, I thought "Crikey... am I going to be in it?!" When the book came out and I got a copy I found that, sure, it was set in our neighbourhood.... at the time of the First Crusade.

Well of course my shot of her on a a 'street corner named desire' is of her in her 'perfect 36 mode' prior to her 'perfect 44 mode' I didn't think the infamous landmark sign would pass poor Steve's stringent standard as he's already had his Christmas cardiac arrest for the season and I try to keep everything...'in moderation!'

Default "Well I never knew that!"



No, but one of my distant ancestors was equerry to Sir Roger De Courcey during the First Crusade. His name was Alan of Tonbridge, but of course everybody just called him Al. So then he was "Squire Al", you see? And that's where the word comes from.
