Where were you?..(assuming you were born)


lorraine and JP are havin' ALL the fun over at Here's the 80's.

How fun were the 80's?...They rocked!!

My partner,GB,and I ran a martial arts studio in San Bernardino,California.

Here we are getting ready to go on stage at the"Orange show" to perform our staff fighting technique...always a big hit at these things...April,1984..

Golly, Sling. I'm starting to think that the list of what you haven't done is the short one.

BTW, thanks for filling in at the bar today. You totally saved our butts. Oh. And you have the afternoon shift tomorrow.

And Belinda Carlisle left her phone number for you.

April 1984 - I was living here, working in the skiwear industry, (spouse was doing handyman work), raising two kids, poor as could be, skinny, and not yet 30. Sigh.....
