The Doctor's blog: "In My Life"

Hmm, just five and had my own picture/portrait. Can't tell the difference between dad and myself at that age. Living at Biggs AFB in El Paso. Have a cocker spaniel (Princess) who lives in a half of an old suitcase and a calico cat named Tinkerbell (Hey! I'm 5, my mom named them, geez) Tinkerbell would routinely smack Princess upside her nose when she wanted the suitcase. Tinkerbell had kittens that year in my old baby carriage (mom was keeping around for my brothers/sisters, but never had any that lived. She had 6 and it was really weird. One all black, black skin(Blackie of course), one deep brown - black skin (chocolate of course), one light tanish green eyed and pink and black skin (cinnamon) one pure white with pink skin and blue eyes (snowball, my fav) and two calicos. Other big things happened that year, the Beatles came to America, but alas I am only five, so I don't remember much. Mom's favorite story is being called to the kindergarten because I was caught kissing a girl in the back of the class. :) What can I say? I can't deny it, after all, I am only five.

Another blog about nothing, lol. After two rounds of tag your it, and another couple with a few people, it has been brought to my attention that no matter how boring you think your life is, it can really be quite interesting. My earliest memory that I can actually claim as mine and not a remembrance of mom or dad, is that of my mom crying in front of the TV in the living room. We were living in El Paso at the time, and President Kennedy had just been shot, it was November 22, 1963. I don't remember anything else from that time period, the hospital, the shooting of Oswald, the burial, all that is memory from film of the events. Funny how people can sometimes see something often enough to believe it was their memory of it. I won't claim that I know what are my memories and which are 'accumulated' memories. And this will be a walk down memory lane, lol. I don't remember the Beatles records not getting airplay, though and American teenage got my old favorite station to play it WWDC - DC101 (home of such as Howard Stern and the Greaseman). I don't remember the Ed Sullivan show or the canceling of one show because of the assassination. OMG ppl, I was only 4, give me a break. Yet to quote the Fab Four: There are places Ill remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends i still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life i've loved them all.
