Someone's In The Kitchen With Bob Dole


For Ken, the one person on the planet who gets it when I suddenly sing, "When Johnny comes marching home again," and will answer, "He's gay!  He's gay!"

That's a good man right there, and I had the smarts to get myself hitched to him.

Happy Valentine's Day.

 If you look really closely (and can get past those eyebrows!), you can see that I am wearing Ken's fraternity lavalier (his fraternity letters, in silver, descending down as a pendant), which he had just given me.  He hid it in an Eli's chocolate chip cheesecake.

I wore the lavalier on our wedding day.

  2. *laughing* I know! I know! I was the very height of Purdue College Girl Fashion, let me assure you. I shudder to think of the many stinky chemicals I had placed so close to my brain in order to achieve the spirals, and I had to do it like every three months. For my readers from Lafayette (you know who you are), I used to go to the Hairman on the Levee to have it done. Then we'd go across the street to Pepe's for watered-down margaritas and chips and salsa :)

  3. Laura Beth, you were an absolute knockout. Straight guys don't care about perms or eyebrows, believe me. I always thought you were a real doll. But you always had a boyfriend! LOL God I feel old!

  4. T, that always kills me when I find stuff like that out. I never thought I was pretty or good enough or anything at all.
