Some more This and That
Following the format of my previous posts, a little something for everyone. Pasted below is my first attempt at using a negative and slide scanner. This little pic is dated somewhere in the late 50's and is of Dad's favorite little girl Barby.
How Cute.
Here is another that was damaged, but I was able to restore. This is about as far back as we can go for Barb.
And Just so my big brother doesn't feel left out. An equal treatment for him. Funny, Joe is starting to look like this all over again.
Now I would post some of myself, but I must have been so ugly as a child that no photos exit. Thank God we all have been spared.
Now from one extreme to another, here is a picture of Jaja's mom. Not many photos are left, but here is one. This fits with my memories of her.
That's about it for the photos for now, let us move on to the Links.
Some thing for the eyes and ears.
http://launch.yahoo.com/ Here is a music video site for all musical tastes.
http://www.pandora.com/ A site that lets you create you own radio station based on Artist or Song.
http://www.atomfilms.com/af/home/ Has video clips of all different types genres; Comedy, Cartoons, animation, etc.
Well that is enough for now. Would not want to overload all of ya. Anyhow, till next time.

Birthday Wishes
Back again with Birthday Wishes.
Just dropping a note for all those to see, and Wishing Happy Birthday to a couple of special people in my life.
First for those who are still with us, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD. By his account his is now 69 +2 and hasn't aged a day in years (I think it is through force of will.) Plus a couple of photos to prove that he is probably getting better looking as he gets older.
EZ's impression of Howard Cosell
Look how cute they are.
Family fun (who is that smartly dressed young man.)
The best Dad anyone could ever have.
Remaining Zurawskis
And now for those who are not here, Happy Birthday Mom. You are forever in my thoughts.
You still make a difference in my life.
To both of you, Happy Birthday. Love Jimmy.

In the beginning.
Hello, one and all. I have created for myself, and all of you, a place of central communication. I will, when time presents itself, post news and notes of interest to friends and family alike.
One reason I am doing this is to try blogging for myself, and also, since I do not like responding to individual emails, I have created a place where I can respond to all of you with a single post (this will fit in with my lazy nature). And give you have the ability to reply by using the comments section.
I will try to post interesting things I may find during my internet browsing so you have something other than my writing to keep you interested. To Start things off, I have attached below a couple of news web sites that you all may find interesting.
www.fark.com A site devoted to interesting news articles collected from all over the globe.
www.digg.com A tech news site that highlights news related to hardware software and tech in general.
Until next time see you later.
