Working for my dad, during the summers and weekends, at his golf pro shop. I think I started when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I would take tee-time reservations, light bookkeeping, get my dad coffee in the restaurant kitchen in the club, and pick-up golf balls on the driving range.
Say something to the person/s who tagged you:
Hi J.B.—oh my gosh, I could have just put "ditto" after many of your answers (Kate Bush, From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and on and on...)! I'd love to spend a Saturday afternoon together hanging out and vintage shopping. The Bob Mackey photo is amazing! By the way, your place and garden look lovely!

Just a quick note to mention that I've rather enjoyed trawling through your archives. And it seems that you have always, and continue to, lead an interesting life

*makes plans to see “Don & Chris” and to sample Elderflower liqueur…perhaps simultaneously!*
I was enchanted by your linked mom and dad stories.
As much as I am tempted by your offer to accept your tag, I don’t do memes. I have an agreement with another blogger that every time either one of us posts a meme, we must punch ourselves in the head. So far, I haven’t given in.
Can't wait to see everyone else's though!
I love that picture of you and your mom!
Thanks for the tag, by the way! ;)
(I've just learned to wink too)
I would like to hug your boyfriend jason - is that possible? yum
All I can say is . . . MAHHHVELOUS! It was a blast to read, and next time i'm in S.F., or you're in NY, we absolutely must meet for some vintage shopping, followed by cocktails someplace super-swank. Vintage Love!!! ~ J.B.T.
Oh, sweet Peacock, I just never do the meme thing...for the simple reason that I could never do it as well as you. What wonderful answers! Thanks for the infotainment!
How nice to get to know Mr. P. a little bit more!
Very nice list! Have to say though, saw The Horrors open for The Kills a few weeks ago, and they were either so drunk or high or pissed off about being in Kansas that they played a terrible show. SO terrible, that I didn't recognize a single song — and prior to seeing them, I was a big fan!
I've never had that happen before, and it was a real disappointment. It was nothing like that live performance AT ALL.
Thank you darrrrrling!
All I know I want the same Shangrila with 1000 thread count beddings by Pratesi! PS: I must learn how to wink like you ;)
Just a note to thank you for posting the Chris & Don trailer.
I watched the entire film this evening and found it a tender, poignant tribute to their love.
Still drying the tears!
I would have overlooked this film if you hadn't taken the time to post it.
A big peacock wink to everyone!
; )
Quite worthwhile information, thanks for your post.
