I did a search on “New Jersey” and some other places and these are a few that came up. New Jersey [...]

Johnny Sokko
Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot was an awesome Japanese kid’s show of the late 1960s that was syndicated in the US when I was a wee one. Marvel at the styrofoam rocks, the cheap smoke bombs, the clumsy, sluggish kung-fu moves of the rubber-costumed monsters! This English-dubbed version made in the early 1970s was [...]

Sloth is the Worst of the Seven Deadly Sins
Morgan, our female beagle mix, relaxes in a chair during Christmas 1964. I guess someone thought it was funny to place a MAD magazine on the arm as if she had been reading it. I’ve no doubt that was a Sergio Aragones cover. In the background is my Ohio Rubber toy dog, Bowser Wowser. I [...]

Big Glasses
A friend used to call these “secretary glasses.” I guess they were all the rage for secretaries in the late 1980s. Now, thanks to LASIK, I don’t have to wear them anymore. This shirt from Benetton was one of my favorites. I could never wear it today (even though I still have it) but I [...]

Strange Critter
This sure looks like some sort of kangaroo, doesn’t it? But it was taken on one of our cross country road trips in the 60′s. I know it isn’t Australia because all the cars are driving on the correct side of the road.

Christmas 1960
Let’s continue the Christmas theme… Here I am in 1960, which would make me 8 years old. I’m at the Mastelesz house with Steven and Kenny. And just look at that tree! Tinsel does wonders. So just keep looking at the tinsel and ignore my hair. If you use a magnifying glass, you can maybe [...]
