December 15, 2011 will go down

 in my

history as infamous!

I was married on this date in 1968. The blizzard began in the middle of the night.

Should have got the jist of this but it flew right by me.By the time we had to leave for the hairdresser’s about 6 AM the streets were covered in a shroud of soft glistening white crystals. We had no car. My fiancee had the Volvo. He was on the other end of Brooklyn. The temperature was 33 degrees and we were stuck with no way to get my hair done before the 1PM ceremony.

It is professed to be bad luck for the groom to see the bride on their wedding day before the ceremony and as my history has shown it must be because my marriage was a huge flop.

We had to call him to drive us.no taxis, busses or any means of transportation were operating until the snow plows came through. it was way too early for that at 7AM on a Sunday.So he came by and picked us up and dropped us off at the Hair Salon.

We were fashionably(two hours more or less) late for our own wedding.My fiancee had to change into hie tails in the bathroom while my grandpa who was about 92 years young told him the facts of life .He felt it was up to him since my dad had died the year before. He was a cool old dude!

So was my first momentous Decmber 15 in 1968.now on to today.

Today is the Birthday of David Webb the artist who died this year on September 11. so many infamous dates here. Wow.

He was schizophrenic,pickled on crystal methemphetamine, and inspite of all this, a brilliant artist and poet. I have tried to get his work out into the public but it has not been easy. Two events and not much to show except a little press. Will try again to see if I can promote his books. I’m searching for the right venue.

Sitting here in San Diego now (Since 1972) there is little chance of a blizzard or the troubles I had in my marriage long ago.It’s a beautiful day!
