Hey folks, it's my birthday. Time to dig out the big Marcel Proust book of time again. In this case, a few more photos.
Hard to believe, but here I am about ten years old wearing a Washington Redskins pajama top. Yes, there was a time in the early 70s, soon after we moved from St. Paul, Minnesota, to Durham, North Carolina, when I was a fan. They were the nearest NFL team at that particular time, also hard to believe now.
Manhattan. In front of the Hotel Chelsea, winter time, a couple years ago. Must get back there! They already had wifi in the lobby by that time. Have also stayed there in the summer, which is more ideal for walking miles and miles and miles . . .
Philadelphia, Logan Square (Logan Circle). During graduate school, probably early 1993. This is another of Philly's great spaces. Behind me is Alexander Calder and Wilson Eyre's Swann Memorial Fountain, finished in 1924; the building is the Free Library. Wearing my VMI garrison jacket from 1978/1979 and Siouxsie & the Banshees t-shirt from London, 1991. Every picture tells a story, don't it?

Happy Birthday Erik! I love the pics. Wonder what the ones you use 20 years from now will be like! Enjoy your day, friend.
Cool. Happy birthday! Man you looked a lot more dapper in your grad school days than I did in mine. Or now.
Hope your birthday was grand and that you have many many more to come.
Happy Belated Birthday!! Rrrowwrr to the last pic, haha. I love Souxie and the Banshees!
Thanks all, for the comments and good wishes! Much appreciated. Cheers'
Funny-- yesterday I was talking to a couple of old acquaintances about Leonard Cohen and his song "Chelsea Hotel." As I'm sure you know, it's about Cohen having sex with Janis Joplin.
Sorry I missed your birthday. Happy happy :)
