Last week in Virginia I vetted and organized—roughly—8400 photos—64 pounds’ worth—into transit for scanning. This week I’m in California where there’s ocean and job interviews.
Dad’s words about Mom
My father says of himself and my later mother: “We majored in each other in college.”
Some fun facts about them:
- He proposed to her during the movie Goldfinger at the drive-in.
- It was bold of her to visit him in Canada when she’d never been anywhere but Pasadena.
- He remembers movies they went to. In Canada they saw both In The Heat of the Night and Wait Until Dark in 1968.
- My grandfather’s family–paternal–family had been in San Diego a LONG TIME. Homes in Old Town. First restaurant in San Diego was the SILVA residence.
- My mother won a Portuguese scholarship at some point because she was presumed Portuguese.
- My father told me the radio was on constantly in the Silva house. Music played 24 hours a day.

First light from Terminal B at Reagan National. This photo is not capturing the crescent moon but it’s lovely. I had a great trip back east. Made concrete headway on family photo scanning project. Wonderful food and conversations and feelings and what my second mother-in-law called “Visiting.” Time to go home.

It’s been six days since I was in the ocean so here’s a photo of me at Mission Bay as a kid. We lived in Los Angeles at the time but even then I loved water.
