Yellow Stanley hairbrush, 1970s
I’ve had this hairbrush forever. I don’t use it for myself or Lilia. I think a Stanley brush had to be purchased from a door-to-door salesman… The Fuller Brush Man, I suppose.

Standing room only tickets for June 19, 2009 Phillies game.
Nothing particularly special about this game. Joe, Lilia and I met my friend Meera and two of her friends at the game. They lost against the Orioles. It was Sound of Philadelphia night, and the Soul Survivors sang “Expressway to your heart”. I don’t have the tickets in a scrapbook. They are just hanging out in my dresser.
