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.

Charlie and MOQUI

You probably wouldn't be able to guess where Charlie is, but he's at the Grand Canyon. Charlie is at the Moqui Lodge. The lodge was demolished in 2005. This photo was taken in May, 1986. I'm sure Charlie had nothing to do with its demise.
