“The Ascent of Money”
a four-hour documentary
I watched this many years ago and I was impressed with how thorough it was. It’s not important to watch, but if you’re interested in this type of thing, it’s worthwhile if there’s ever any free time… 💰

I lived in Las Vegas for a few months in 2021. Very hot, but I liked being there …

This is my grandpa, Henry, from my dad’s side. He played guitar and liked to cook for the family…

This is my mother, Erlene, and her father, Elias. I get my middle name from him. His father was a general in Pancho Villa’s army. His name was Jose De La Luz Blanco and he had 17,000 troops under his command about a hundred years ago…

This is Jose. His mom married my dad when I was ten years old. Our parents split up, but we stayed close and I consider him to be a brother. We live in the same house today …

Deedee is the youngest sister. This is us when we were children…

Lisa is my middle sister. This is us when I graduated from Chaffey Community College before transferring to Pitzer…

Ronnie is the oldest, she’s a huge Raiders fan, and she lives in San Jose …

This is inside the Whisky A Go Go a long time ago. I love live music, and I’m very happy I’ve had friends good enough to play here…

This is my other best friend, John. Here we are skiing at Sun Valley, Idaho. John was driving me around today running errands…

This is my best friend, Vinny. He passed away in 1990 after we graduated high school. He’s very important in my social group all these years later…

I like quotations. I like the one you shared, “Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.” This one from John F Kennedy is one of my favorite …

these are the international programs at my school …
@1:33 Max Brooks was the keynote speaker when I graduated in 2011, Gene Simmons from Kiss was there because his son, Nick, graduated in my class. Max wrote World War Z and he’s the son of Mel Brooks …

this is my diploma from Pitzer College. My degree is Intercultural Environmental Studies…

My first time in Seattle was in 1997. This is me with interns. There’s a guy raising his arm, and I’m to his left…

this is me in Seattle in 2020. It’s one of my favorite places…


Hello Sophia!
I am glad we are talking besides at Blue Sky. I set up a couple of pages for you:
homercocktail.com/sophia-bsky
and
maniac-pages.com/sophia
That way, we can communicate at our own paces. I am fascinated by your past history in computer science and your interest in pottery. If you’ve watched “Ghost” starring Demi Moore, there’s a memorable scene with clay pottery. As we move along, I’m sure we’ll calibrate our communication style to one another.
