On The Cutting Edge of Yesterday

Salvatore leaving boot camp.  He was 19.  

Here are a few photos of my Pop-pop from on board the ship, 1954.

My grandfather was stationed on the heavy cruiser U.S.S. Macon CA 132 in 1954 during the Korean War.  He has a lot of amazing photos from his navy days.  In particular, he has a huge poster size photo of his ship.  He has kept it rolled up for over 50 years and it became cracked and extremely damaged.  As a gift to him, I tried to fix it up.  I’m not a photoshop expert, but I think it came out pretty good.  There are still traces of the folds and bends, but come on, it’s old.  

It was a very muddy and fun day at the U.S. Open with my Dad and brother. We all smell like cattle. Best Father’s Day Ever.

I’m going to the U.S. Open with my Dad and brother tomorrow.  This is what I can’t bring.  So I guess no twitter updates, and no tumblr posts from Bethpage Black.  

*Semi-interesting fact, My senior prom was held in the clubhouse at Bethpage

I’m not really sure what it would be in this instance, but the official part is I’m following the US Open on Twitter.  I’m not sure how I feel about this yet.  

I wish I had that yellow dress for Lindsey’s wedding.

Every time we get a basil plant it dies.  Why?

GPOYW- Generation T Book Signing Model Edition.   That’s right, Megan Nicolay called me up to be a demonstration model during her book reading this evening.  

Why are people always putting me in clothes and then cutting them off?  

I want this.
