The Slush Cup Photos



the group
--name um if you dare....



this must be after the party?

Thanks again Craig/Chopper. Who has more Please.

====below is the text Craig sent to go with these classice pics. =======

Hello B & Brog,

Probably don't need to put words to the two photos below, pretty self explanatory. Let's just hope B looks better when he comes out of surgery than he does in the bottom picture taken under the Alaska Way Viaduct at the end of the day. Perhaps he should don a lifejacket such as he is wearing in the upper photo. Perhaps a good caption for the two pictures could be, "When you play you pay." And I trust that Brogan was driving.

I haven't written much before, but that doesn't mean that I haven't thought a lot about Burch, Brogan and the rest of the T family, and the gifts that they have shared with us over the years. And the many memories, too numerous to list, now.

But most of all I think about Burch and the gifts that he is giving us all now, at his expense. The gift of life, the gift of love, the gift of the love of life, the gift of appreciation, and the gift of friendship.

Over the years I have traveled as I worked, met lots of people, worked with lots of people, worked for lots of people. But never have I met so many people that are as virtuous, honest and fun as those friends and families that I know from growing up in Bellevue and the even more friends that evolved from that group over the years. Burch, you are at the top of the heap.

Burch, swallow your own medicine and may the operation be smooth and successful and the recovery swift and strong. I will be flying to San Diego on Sept 17 and will be there for a few days. After that I am headed to the Bay Area. If all is okay, I hope to be able to come and see you and help out around the house if there is anything a can do.

Brogan, you have warmed my heart and many others' for the care and love you have demonstrated for that other twin. Between the two of you, you make me laugh and cry.

With heartfelt regards, thoughts, love & prayers,
Chopper

  1. Brog here. I am now finding what is called "analytics" and can see that in fact some folks are looking at these classic pictures. Also on a less tech note I have heard people laughing and crying over these. Those were fun days. Of course I sshould admit at first glance last week when Craig sent them I did not recognize myself. Deb E pointed me out. Oh yeah guess that is me, and hUmmm?? is that my cell phone there on my belt,,,geee I guess I was a switchedd on guy even though I still can not spell?

    So hope you can make a note of yourself as you find in this group shot. Sort of like a 'where's waldo'?

Leave a comment or msg here if you like. Or you can send to me, Brogan. Include pictures with text/captions and I will post. I have this blog set to ask for a funny antispam word. Should work alright for now. Also note if you become a follower you may get emails when new posts occur. Thanks, Brogan
