STEPPIN' OUT with Charlie and his eye patch

Charlie appears to be feeling pretty chipper or considering trying out for a dance show. His version of the chorus girl kick. Always multidimensional, there's practically nothing he can't do. Think I'm kidding about the dancing? In time...in time....

Charlie's attempt at acting or EYE SURGERY?

Oh, I know this may prove to be a shock to Charlie fans, all 9 of you, but Charlie has either had cataract surgery or is trying out for a local production of True Grit as Rooster Cogburn.

Charlie in A WHITE SPORTS COAT

"A white sports coat and a pink carnation..." I'm betting Charlie knew that song. We'll have to settle for a sort of pink tie.

Warning: the next two posts might prove emotionally difficult to deal with.

309 Woodlaw

Sometime in November 1985 Charlie sat at this table at 309 Woodlaw. At least that's what I think it says on the back of the photo. The handwriting is difficult to read. I can tell you that it was in Texas. The actual town is illegible.

Charlie TAKING A STAND

Remember the Alamo. Charlie did on March 26, 1983. It seems to have made him very happy.

PEOPLE!

Am I seeing things? Are there really people in a photo with Charlie? Do they know he's there? I'm guessing they have no memory of him. He has the last laugh. Charlie has his own web page. The others are merely props in Charlie's world.

In the upcoming post we will have a first for Charlie. I'll let you ponder what that might be.

ABOUT TRAVELING WITH CHARLIE

A few years ago I was given a large box of photos that contained many snapshots of a man named Charlie. The photos were taken, I believe, by his wife. They span the early to late 1980s. I know nothing about Charlie other than he is from Texas.

This site, which will last only one year, will take us on a journey with Charlie. We won't learn anything about Charlie or the places he visited. We'll just see Charlie in different locations being Charlie.

Now, I'm not stupid enough to think anybody is going to give a hoot about Charlie so I don't actually expect there will be any followers. However, should you feel the need to be notified every week about Charlie's new location consider adding yourself to the list. As of now, I'm the only follower of Charlie.

UPDATE: I have had to remove the junk in the passenger seat because I now have a traveling companion named Foobella. I hope she used the you know before we left home.

UPDATING THE UPDATE: Oh, someone is now sitting in the backseat. I'm sorry about the stuff that was in the front seat that is now in the back. If it smells too much I'll give you the pine tree from the rearview mirror and you can hang it around your neck. Just let me know.

FINAL UPDATE OF UPDATING THE UPDATES: The car is now full. I disposed of my stuff outside a fast food joint neatly spread around the tables. Presentation is everything. I have now added a roof rack. We are driving slow enough that those clutching the roof rack need not worry about falling off. I will provide umbrellas when necessary.
