Laura's was the first of the Reno deaths to hit me hard.

BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS! Man survives axe blow to the head.

Top Night. Thank You.

You've all seen Jackie Brown. The moment when Robert De Niro has just come out of prison and he's taken to this house and left with this woman who promptly puts Baby Love on and begins to dance. Well, me and my little crew experienced this in Coolie's.

We all know who we are. When we were young, healthy, and would walk past each other in the Reno, and nod or say hello, more…

Yesterday, Steve, Lati's stepson, told me Lati had passed in the night. His passing feels like a natural break. The video memoirs will resume 02-01-17, the first Monday after Xmas.

Awe. Look at the way he is looking at her, and the way it makes her feel.

Old, Old Skool
