"Hello, Goodbye" (Digital Hoarding XV)

 This is my Digital Hoarding BLOG Post XV. For me, it is kind of a Hello, Goodbye process...if I open an old photo and say Hello, great to see you again, I save it off. If I open it and say Goodbye, it is moved to the trash and not shared here. Here are the latest saves.. I should mention that some of these are years old and I have to remind myself why I kept the file...

I found this old photograph of Downtown Melbourne, taken sometime in the 1950s. On the front right is the Melbourne Causeway, two lanes heading toward Indialantic. The harbor, middle left, is the Melbourne harbor where Ichabod's Dockside is located.  That is Crane Creek with a two lane US1 bridge and a one lane railroad bridge.


This was a current shot of the construction at Ilsley Library in Middlebury Vermont.

I always steal from Caleb Kenna, looking down Main Street in Middlebury Vermont.

This was a weird plant I bought in Vero Beach. The lady placed an air plant in an urchin shell. It is now dead...

No explaining necessary...


Lindt Chocolate...one year I bought a variety of Christmas ones...
Interesting...but I think it is Hog-wash.


Nice trees, I wonder how they keep them so erect?

Haha...

Need to hire a spell-checker...

I have eaten these...

I know...

This may be hard to read but I included it anyway. The Ellison story A Boy and His Dog took place in 2024....last year.


I was going to hang this up but I forgot I had it...

Hello, Goodbye.

About Title

"Hello, Goodbye" (sometimes titled "Hello Goodbye") is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. Backed by John Lennon's "I Am the Walrus", it was issued as a non-album single in November 1967, the group's first release since the death of their manager, Brian Epstein. The single was commercially successful around the world, topping charts in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, West Germany, Canada, Australia and several other countries.

McCartney later said that the lyrics take duality as their theme. The song originated when, in response to a question from Beatles aide Alistair Taylor about songwriting, McCartney sat down at a harmonium and asked Taylor to say the opposite of whatever he said. The completed song includes a musical coda, which was improvised by the Beatles when they were recording the track in October 1967. Unimpressed with the composition, Lennon pushed for "I Am the Walrus" to be the single's A-side, before reluctantly accepting that "Hello, Goodbye" was the more commercial-sounding of the two sides. The Beatles produced three promotional films for the song, one of which was shown on The Ed Sullivan Show in America. Due to the regulations against lip-syncing on British television, none of the clips were aired there.

Photo Memory - BJ with others

Image
As I continue to scan in all the photos I have collected over the years, I have continually modified the way I am trying to organize the photos. I have created groups by individuals, and of course central to that are photos of me. I have shared some of the single photos of me on Facebook, and I would like to share here a few of photos of me with others. The first photo is me, not even four months old, being held by my Grandmother, Helen Rheaume Shackett. I know the photo was taking at our Weybridge Street house in Middlebury by the banister behind us. The stairs are steep in the Provoncha house, and many a drunk fell down those stairs into the cactus my mom kept at the bottom. Tom moved the bathroom from the second floor to the first when he purchased the house, so now only those spending the night get to go up those stairs. BJ with Grandma Shackett The next photo is when I turned one in the summer of 1958. I lived at the Weybridge St house all my life through high sch...

"The Long and Winding Road"

Image
 I met John Pitkethly back in February of 1980. Since then, it has been a Long and Winding Road , but John played an integral part in how my life turned out. He hired me as a Data Analyst I and I started ENSCO on March 17, 1980. And I retired 34 years later, as a Data Analyst II . Just kidding, I was allowed to flourish at ENSCO, and worked on many interesting projects with many unique scientists and software engineers. John's life: Work, Drinks, Golf, Drinks, Cruises, Drinks, Drinking, Drinks. (and Family throughout) This is what John looked like when I started work at ENSCO, the DCS Division, in Indian Harbour Beach at Shopper's World. John was 43... This is what I looked like when I started at ENSCO, I was 22. When I started, Norm Bush was our Division Manager. Eventually Norm would become the President of ENSCO and John would become Division Manager of the ARS (Applied Research and Systems) and then VP, moving our office to Suntree. In 1999, John decided to retire and new D...

"Not a Second Time"

Image
 The second cycle of 17 is where a lot of significant things happened to me. I graduated High School in the first year, graduated college in the fifth year and then moved to Florida to join my parents for a short period since I only had $11 left in my bank account. I sent out my resume to almost a 100 companies, many of them in the Northeast. But no luck on the job search. Here are some pictures from the second cycle of 17, some might call it 18 through 34, but not me! Visiting Florida in the first year continued as my parents took me and my great friend Rene Paquette, to visit my Dad's parents, Albia and Lois, in Daytona. We actually stayed at a cheap motel on the famous (and drivable) Daytona Beach. Harold and Stella with Albia, Rene and I behind them, at the pool of our motel. The first year was also my Senior year at MUHS. Being so young, I agreed to host a talent show with my pitching (baseball) buddy and classmate Steve Corbett. We were billed as the Coroncha Brothers. Steve ...
