A Proud Member

Posted on April 7, 2012 by Mike

A fellow blogger and excellent photographer has bestowed upon me the membership badge that every door whore would desire. Adrian at Adrianpym.wordpress.com does some amazing work in jolly old England and I greatly encourage anyone to look at his photography. Here is the badge he was kind enough to give me.

In seeking my own doors and other weathered sites, I do so on my motorcycle. Like any good man with a motorcycle, I love mine, and so I present it for inspection. Door whores of the world, unite!

Many congratulations! If ever there was a fellow worthy of such membership it must surely be you, sir. Nice bike too, do you spend a lot of time polishing it? It’s beautifully shiny.

  Thanks. I keep it garaged and clean it as need be. It just gets dusty and is in very good shape for an ’03.

    just highlight his name and click the little icon of the linked chain in your toolbar on the edit screen of your post..then just copy and paste the URL of his blog from another tab and into the prompt window you get when you click the chain icon..does that help?

    Many, many years ago Eldorado park was part of a socialist Hebrew summer camp that I last attended at the age of 12 in 1961. It was, and forever will remain, the best summer of my life. There are still a number of cottages right next to Eldorado called camp Naivelt, that are very much alive. I took my wife and son there in 1997 to get a feel for how clean the air is. I have written a story about my experience at that camp, but it is not posted here.
    My mother and brother were both born in Canada, and I lived in Toronto briefly when I was 4.
