one year later......





hey everyone


well, sort of one year later. these pics were taken on May 13 2006, a year after we learned that young James/Napoleon was on his way to us. i still remember the shock of the news over the phone, as i was walking off out of the office for a cigarette!!

quite a pleasant shock, of course, and we cannot imagine life before him, let alone without him :)

these pics were from Michele's brother Dylan's 8th birthday party. yes, there is something of a gap between them!! thanks very much to Monica for the gap and indeed organizing the party!!

as well as Grandma Monica, James got to see Grandma Rena for the first time in a while, since she has been in England (refer to the Robbo pic!!). they had quite obviously missed each other a great deal!!

nice one to Mum for the class stuff she brought back. i now have the original version of Apocalypse Now on DVD, to go with the Redux version. Redux was quite the mythical beast; for it contained some of the footage that had been about on bootlegs, but Copolla denied ever existed. as a curiosity it was good to see, but overall i see why the original edit of the film was left alone for so long, hence me getting the disc. i kind of fell out of love and was not quite so awe inspired with Redux when you started seeing Kurtz in daylight, and, quite frankly, the "interesting sounding" Scott Glenn stuff still never made it in. ho hum.

be excellent to each other!!!
