He is as educated as they come but has little social skills. He will work in a bar at first and be treated as somewhat of a carnival freak; Ask the boy anything, he knows the answer they will say. But eventually he will learn how to interact with people. And then he will meet a girl who thinks him odd at first but recognizes a goodness in him that no one ever has before...
hey hey SDF, I'm not lazy...used to use the outhouse at the cabin all the time---that little shed in the pic is bigger, warmer and closer to the cabin than the outhouse was!!! uphill both ways in the snow and all too!
In December of 2007, after many years on the west side of Los Angeles (and at least a third of those years spent stuck in traffic on Pico Boulevard) my family settled into a happy little house in South Pasadena. This daily blog covered almost 5 years as I put down roots in my new home town -- and almost 5 more as I settled in and became a South Pas old-timer. Here it is...my time capsule of South Pasadena.

Man, you guys are GOOD today!
If this were a scene for a movie we could see it at the Rialto or The Raymond.

Uphill. Both ways. In the snow.
